On their next tour, Vampire Weekend should schedule They're Eating the Dogs as the opening act for a few shows.

financebuzz.com/starbucks-clos… This article from FinanceBuzz.com references my website, which is kinda neat, altho I wish they had contacted me so I could have explained that some of the closures are actually relocations.

Best part of the current episode of ‘TIME CRISIS WITH EZRA KOENIG’ was actually after I signed off, when Ezra explicitly stated that I was following a PURPOSE that I chose myself, and then Jake Longstreth followed up. Encouraging others to find their own purpose is one of my top goals right now.

Actual Netflix chips from Seoul, as discussed on ‘TIME CRISIS WITH EZRA KOENIG’, spotted by the world's #2 Starbucker Sebastian Birr!

My 19,600th Starbucks, Le Claire, IA 400 til 20K!

This street sign in Roscoe, IL, has me wondering if McCurry is a product found in some Asian McDonald's?

Hard to believe that it has been more than two years since I last Starbucked in Chicagoland, and whenever that much time passes, I return to find DOZENS of new stores to wisit. Because of a hard deadline to reach NYC for VW, I need to clear these ASAP, and my head already hurts!

Ooh, just in time for the Vampire Weekend shows at MSG!

An underappreciated perk of urban camping is when you wake up to an unexpected sight like a strange man just standing there, unmoving, next to the kiddie park at 6 in the morning.

It never gets old, those rare occasions when I wisit back-to-back Starbucks in ROMEOVILLE and JOLIET.

Romeoville and Joliet is the city naming gift that keeps on giving.

Well this is a first. I've shown up at Starbucks closes for many reasons, from COVID to understaffing to biohazard, but this store in Richton Park was closed because high schoolers, who regularly hang out after school, were fighting in the lobby! Fortunately I got my coffee.

This ordinary store in Michigan brings to five the number of distinct Greenvilles in the U.S. with a company-owned Starbucks. The highest counts: 8 - Clinton,Burlington,Springfield 7 - Richmond,Madison,Auburn 6 - Concord,Jacksonville,Milford,Farmington,Franklin,Lexington,Marion

The Sault Ste. Marie US/Canada border bridge charges the rather unfortunate toll amount of $4.20.

The second Starbucks in Sault Ste. Marie, on Trunk Road, opened in October 2021, a couple of months after my initial wisit, and it was the oldest store in North America that I'd not seen. Please, no more stores up here because it's soooo far away!
