Getting your daily fix
This is an update on an earlier post about St*rbucks or the absence thereof in these lands. I did a quick check on the St*rbucks locator (yes, it works in old and new Europe alike!) and think — think — that the closest one might be in Vienna (seven or eight of them) and then Thessaloniki (one).
GIves you an idea where I live.
My last address, by contrast, had 146 stores in a 5-mile radius.
There’s an amusing discussion over at kottke.org about density per population — seems that Manhattan is actually not as tightly packed as you might think, and once you include in the head count the people who work there (as opposed to people who just live there) you get an even lower density (I know lots of people living in the outer boroughs who work or study in Manhattan, don’t think I know anyone who does it the other way round).
