It is a sign of the times sadly. This morning GM is taking away retirees health benefits and not giving it to the ones that they are forcing out.

Nah, there's already a Curry Donuts across the street from the Starbucks (may be up the street a block or so). I wonder what they'll put there...and I wonder what they're building next to the Burger King on 309 in Shavertown too....anyone know what that's going to be?

They knocked down that Dairy Queen?! Are you talking about the one on 23 next to the bowling alley? Jeez...is nothing sacred anymore?

Bed Bath Beyond seems to be the only store that sells them.

I've used starbucks as more of a meeting hall than anything. Its an easy, neutral atmosphere where you can actually speak to each other, grab a table and not be bothered. I've used it for a meeting place for people I meet online and need to meet them in person, like a few musicians I met there after speaking through e-mail. The $5 i spend for those meetings is sort of like a convenience fee to use their dining room. Unlike meeting at a restaurant you aren't locked in until the check comes. I've met with a few people that I was quite happy that I only had to finish my small drink and make an excuse to leave

Let me also tailgate on here to mention NEPA has a much stronger local music scene than phoenix.

I'm living in Maryland now, and all of the A&P stores here changed their name to SuperFresh years ago but it's the same company. It looks like the nearest stores to NEPA now are in the Allentown area. When I was a kid, we used to walk to the little A&P on the Avenue in downtown Wyoming before they moved to the big store by the Midway Shopping Center, which is now a Gerrity's.
