Starbucks

As always Starbucks delivers great service and has wonderfully good food. They even sent me a free drink cupon for my birthday. I was so excited.

This is just like other Starbucks’ stores. Clean, neat and friendly service. Usual fair, nothing out of the ordinary. Parking is dicey since it’s a small lot and located in the same area as a Chipotle and Verizon corporate store.

Did you know that there are non stop flights out of San Francisco to Cleveland? Yes, you heard right. I said Cleveland.
On my long flight to Cleveland I had a lot of time to think in seat 2A because the guy in 1A was sawing some serious logs. And not to get off topic, but I recently learned that I don’t snore. Not only do I not snore, I am a completely silent sleeper. I hope that one day when my day comes that someone will check to make sure that I am not actually sleeping.
Anyway, upon arriving in Cleveland I head down to the National Rental Car counter and ask if they knew of a Starbucks close by. It’s almost 9:00 and most Starbucks are closed and won’t be open until tomorrow morning. This is not the news I was wanting to hear. So I hop in my rental car and head south down the interstate.
As I approach the metropolis of Akron, I think to myself that I should stop by and check out the new Lebron billboard that everyone is talking about. I find it difficult to enter the 21^st century and search google images so that I can see it and choose the old fashioned way and see if for myself. I hop off the freeway and make a left turn and what do I see? The beautiful sight of a 24 hour Starbucks!
I have just stumbled upon Caramel Frappuccino Heaven!
The baristas were cordial and nice. They made me feel like a regular. And they were also a wealth of information as they were able to tell me the exact location of the Lebron billboard and wrote out directions on how to get there. I told you this billboard was a big deal.
I loved the people here, but my caramel frap tasted like there was a hint of raspberry. The «p» is silent in raspberry by the way. I am not sure what the deal was with that. But I am thinking they probably did not wash out the blender before making my frap.
This is going to be a busy weekend and am happy for a few close friends of mine. If they had been with me, I would have been more than happy to treat them to a raspcaramel frap.
