Hah! Take that.

Attention Starbucks' fans: I was the FIRST customer to set foot in the refurbished Starbucks store this morning at 5:30 (and change) a.m. I happened upon the opening quite by accident during an early morning walk with Lucy, but how could I resist such an opportunity? I tried to honor my vows to our local coffee shops by ordering a tea. That doesn't count as cheating, right?

So there's a little bit of Buy Local Street Justice--Newburyport Post-style.

And a review of the new store....I honestly wouldn't have noticed the change if no one told me they were changing. They did move the condiment station, so watch out for that.

Their featured artist this month is Gina Lee Kim of Salisbury. She works in watercolors and is remarkable(hence the remark). Really nice as well, she was part of a web story on artist inspiation the Daily did earlier this year.

Hey wait! Stewie, weren't you the one who called Tom a "corporate shill," or words to that effect, for entering Starbuck's a few weeks back? And yet, you know who their featured artist is this month ...

Oh. That's different. Never mind.

You mean Slutbucks? Some folks are upset that the mermaid on the Starbucks logo represents slutdom.
