Well, it's probably the closest South Philly will get to a real Starbucks. The closest we have to real Starbucks up here is the Acme in Bensalem, and the B&N at Oxford Valley. But if they're putting a Krispy Kreme in on Cottman, I have hope that Starbucks will slip a store in along Bustleton.

Are you referring to the Starbucks shop on DeKalb Pike (north of Valley Forge Center, right)? I sat at that one for about 2 hours one day. I had an interview out there with my previous employer, and they had discussed bringing me back in later that day for a second one. Rather than go all the way back home, I sat around at Starbucks for a few hours, drove around Norristown and Bridgeport, then down to Paoli. They decided to bring me back the next day...bastards.

When will the Akammie Store Starbucks have WiFi? Not in our lifetime. :-)
You got me on that one.
