I see a good amount of people who still sit and work at Starbucks.

You see Dunkies in Florida. We have one on the island here in SC. I've seen them in Georgia. What I haven't seen is any Krispy Kreme.

Surprising since they are a NC based company.

Edit: Just looked and there is at least 10 in the Springfield city limits and a half dozen in Pittsfield.
True but sometimes the number is pretty nuts. Weymouth alone has one next to another one. I'm not talking about the ones in a gas station or in a supermarket

Well they did start in Quincy so it's not a surprise that they would be stacked in the South of Boston area.

That’s absurd. The rest of the country hasn’t ever heard of a Canton. They’ll know the fancy parts of Boston, the Harvard & MIT parts of Cambridge, Lexington & Concord, Newton/Wellesley. Salem from the witches. Manchester by the Sea from the movie.

We are talking about reality here, not the impressions of out of state tourists.

There are more differences, but it doesn't really change the point of what I was saying. Nowhere in Massachusetts you are far from high level care, in many other states, not so much.

There was one in Dedham that closed within a few years after the novelty wore off. I think the nearest one left is at Mohegan Sun.
