Your town sounds like such a lame place even for non-Tampa/Orlando/Miami Florida.

10 more months. 10 more months. 10 more months. 10 more months. 10 more months.

Seriously. We get a fuckton of fast food, yet how the FUCK is there not a Starbucks? The closest ones are two towns over in both directions.

Meanwhile, if you're in the Orlando area soon, the pre-recorded Disney Christmas Day thing that airs every year on ABC will be shooting from November 3-7. Go enjoy those live performances from the latest Disney flavor of the year, Han!

lol that makes Magic Kingdom such a clusterfuck to go to. No thanks!

You mean the Disney Advertising Parade.   Plus I think the parade they film it's only for cast members and their immediate families.

lol yeah, pretty much.

[filmlover]

lmao I had no idea Amy Schumer was in Thank You for Your Service. More often than not it's jarring seeing people known only for comedy showing up in strictly serious stuff (see: Taran Killam in 12 Years a Slave).

That is your biggest regret in life, Mark?

Reading up on Amazon Key -  for only 250$, you can now be murdered by strangers right in the comfort of your own home. Previously you at the very least needed to step out and take an Uber for that.

I miss Saturday Morning cartoons on the networks

I still have fond memories of getting up earlier in the morning just to watch Fox in the mid to late 1990's.

Speaking of Dunkin Donuts, they're all over the North East but oddly enough they're only able to stay in business in certain parts of Texas by advertising themself as a coffee place (especially places like Amarillo).

They're all around where I live, but strangely one in Barre, for no particular reason decided to move shop to a different area. Given that there sharing a chain with another store, I'm guessing that particular Dunkin Donuts was bought out, or made some sort of deal.

Not that Starbucks is great, but if your town has no Starbucks, you know it's probably a burning piece of trash aka dumpster fire

Truth.  I noticed the presence of Starbucks also makes a town's local coffee joints try harder (as they either need to be really good or they crash).

 

No Starbucks and the coffee scene is terrible in the town

There might be one or two cafes downtown, but otherwise Dunkin and fast food are your only options for coffee here

I have become a Tim Horton's convert. It's insane how many there are and how busy they are all the time.

[WrathOfHan]

It's super weird that we have Dunkin Donuts on both sides of town yet no Starbucks. The Dunkins don't even have Baskin Robbins FFS! 

[RichWS]

This is the Northeasterner in me, but Dunkin rules. I'll suck it up and get Starbucks if that happens to be the only available option.

[DeeCee]

300,000 people in the area and we don’t have a Starbucks. They failed. The people of Australia rejected Starbucks.

I'd get up to watch all three networks in the late 70's and early 80's

It’s hard not to find a Starbucks here. There’s like two Starbucks in a nearby mall. I know there’s like a few Dunkin Donuts near Bayshore and Whitefish Bay.

I was fortunate enough to grow-up when Saturday morning cartoons were still popular enough. I imagine it was quite different from the late 70's and early 80's, since when I was watching cartoons, channels like Nick and CN were around, so I didn't need to wait for cartoons. It was still mostly all cool though.

Buffalo Wild Wings is probably one of the best chain restaurants.
