Small Town Starbucks
Bad news: not only is there only one, lonely little Starbucks in my hometown (a very recent addition, it turns out), it is the only Starbucks in existence without wireless Internet.
The good news is, two blocks down the road from the poor, unwired coffee haus is an updated version of an East Texas classic: the donut shack.
In this case, the donut shack is actually “The Doughnut Cafe” (the name making it so much more upscale, don’t you think?), and comes complete with coffee, the obligatory doughnuts, a gurgling, lily-lined, outdoor koi pond and– gasp!– FREE wireless access.
So at least I will be able to check in once a day during the time my mother’s hospice care worker is at the house– and have greasy (buy yummy) “pigs-in-a-blanket” to boot.
