Every neighborhood I've lived in becomes a magnet for trouble when a Starbucks opens. Thugs, gangbangers and yahoos congregate around these strip-mall style places like files around poop. Years ago there were mom-and-pop style places that were nicer and felt homey. You knew who the people were that ran it and they knew you. Starbucks ruins neighborhoods. DOWN WITH STARBUCKS!!!
