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.
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.
