Came upon this on kottke.org (http://www.kottke.org/05/01/max... and thought I'd give it a go. There are a modest 43 locations within 5 miles of me. That shouldn't be hard to beat.

Perhaps the label for the locator tool should be "Where we aren't" as NOT finding a Starbux is quite a challenge.

hahaha, got all you peeps beat. 162 locations within five miles (60 within 2 mi.). Can't be hard to guess where i live.
Youknow what's funny? I've never been to a single one of em. Though just to taste Chantico, I'll probably make an exception.

They're apparently like roaches - you see one, there are another thousand you don't see. I once did a rough count for downtown and got 13 or so. Turns out there are 68.
I actually used to live in Mt. Plesant, right near the Biltmore. Can't say I miss *that.*

who was the guy that complained about a starbucks with another starbucks right across the street?
this kind of happens on 42nd and 6th in manhattan, actually a few other places in the city if you count ones in bookstores
i'm mstly over the beefing about the thing tho... i have had nasty nasty coffee from random neighbourhood bodegas, bakeries and diners way too often to really complain when i can have *some* degree of reliability to my coffee at a ubiquitous place.

i don't drink teh java, but my honey does. Although she prefers Dunkin DOnuts.
according to their site, there are 55 locations within 5 miles of my place. not even close to how many starbucks there are.
