I've been obsessed with this map-thieving story for a year now.
I've seen him described elsewhere as "world famous East Coast map dealer" E. Forbes Smiley III. With that name and epithet, how could he be anything but a map thief?
"47. Tired of the concessions competition from the elotes carts, Starbucks launches their own "caffelotes" carts featuring corn on the cob with a chai-mocha-latte mayonaisse."
"153. Foie Starbucks. Customers are force-fed lattes until their kidneys explode. Sizes: Tall, Venti, Grande, and Foie Grande."
Classic!
More Starbucks? Dear Lord, why? I already pass by THREE on my way to work and I only go 6 blocks. I don't hate Starbucks but their coffee isn't very good. Intelligentsia, LaVazza, illy and even Caribou are better.
