Actually a chunk hit me on the head today...but maybe that was just God trying to tell me something.
Seriously, I think we locals forget sometimes, the Starbucks, the Burger King, the Subway etc are not aimed at feeding us (well, except for my darlin' SarahB
). They are aimed at visitors many of whom arrive here petrifired that they won't find anything to eat or drink that won't send them rushing to the bathroon or the hospital. So if having a few chain outlets on 5th allows people the confidence to visit, that ain't a bad thing. And once they are here we can convince them that it's all right to eat at Carboncitas, El Fagon, Bloody Chicas, Cafe Corazon etc. Oh...and Coconut Shrimp down on the beach. Now what is the name of that place?
Speaking of Coffee, Carlitos had family bring me down some Cafe DuMonde Coffee from New Orleans recently. I am addicted to the stuff. And I ran out yesterday. Withdrawl symptoms are setting in.
