Living in Staten Island, the city of bagel shops on every corner, most open
24 hrs a day, they are a Godsend and one of the best, most convenient
places when you've only got 2 mins to go in, order what you want, have it
prepared and your back out the door. Starbucks are novel, and a nice
occassional change, but the cost and the 10 min wait behind 2 people on
line is just a waste of time for what you get. Now a tall skim latte is a
little tough to get at a bagel shop, but when you weigh the plus' and
minus' I'll go to the 24hr Bagel-O-Rama anyday :-)

I'll give you the Starbucks -- but good bagel shops are a good thing.
That is places that sell mainly bagels -- not lattes and bagels.

bpechter@shell.monmouth.com|pechter@pechter.dyndns.org There's a real drive-in movie
theater on the edge of town. We're 35 minutes from a Starbucks
or real boiled bagels, though.
That sounds like a good place to live! Is not an area's quality of
life inversely proportional to the existence of bagel shops or
Starbucks coffee shops? Both types of businesses appear to be
indications of an area on the fringe of decay, such as an area about
to turn into a city, an area that's trying to mimic one of the United
States' best examples of putrid places: New York City.
