I was driving around downtown the other day, and realized that there seemed to be a Starbucks store on every street corner. At one intersection in Vancouver (Robson & Thurlow), there are two Starbucks stores kitty-corner to each other (the only location of such thing in the world). I thought I'd somehow driven into Seattle, but I counted a total of eight stores just on my way home.

Starbucks has a nice store locator on their website. Curious, I entered my home address, and chose a 50-mile radius. It turns out there are 203 stores within 50 miles of my house! Now that's a lot of coffee.

Looks like Vancouver is turning into the next Seattle. (Our weather has not been great lately, either, for the record).
