Lo...Wow, two posts back-to-back...and research too! Lol! You clearly have too much time on your hands. I would also guess that you probably reside within 2 blocks of Best Yet....don't worry, property values won't drop just because the 1st Harlem Starbucks opened on Lenox Ave. and not FDB. It was a very simple question....not sure how you read it as criticism. I actually wasn't even sure if the Starbucks on 125th and Lenox Ave was the first in Harlem.<br /><br />By the way, your emphasis should have been on "Harlem". The way the statement was written it seems to imply that the building attracted the first Starbucks to Harlem....it should have specified FDB.Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-20614612840407427582011-02-18T17:08:12.792-05:002011-02-18T17:08:12.792-05:00Some evidence that the existence of the 125th &...Some evidence that the existence of the 125th & Lenox Starbucks (including as "first") is not news on HB:<br />http://harlembespoke.blogspot.com/2010/10/drink-harlem-starbucks-loses-some-magic.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-68616706121453496612011-02-18T16:59:47.342-05:002011-02-18T16:59:47.342-05:00I'm neither upset nor hostile about this -- I ...I'm neither upset nor hostile about this -- I just think the question / criticism you're offering here is rather shaky.<br /><br />All else aside, the post says the building "brought brought <em><strong>a</strong></em> Starbucks and Best Yet Market to Harlem" (emphasis added). Seems clear enough to me. Whether you count it as first or second, it's not an unreasonable way to frame the post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-76924313428100238292011-02-18T15:11:39.214-05:002011-02-18T15:11:39.214-05:00Cool Blue Reason: keep it cool...you seem so upset...Cool Blue Reason: keep it cool...you seem so upset and hostile. <br /><br />I didn't mean to "quibble", it was a simple question.
