Starbucks Oasis
See that? It’s a Starbucks. In the middle of the ghetto otherwise known as “right off campus.” How do you know that your college is “ghetto”? Generally, you can tell this when an 8′ iron fence surrounds the campus and you have to show an ID to get on campus. Also, when the surrounding environs are filled with low-income housing and the nearest intersection, where most of the food joints and pharmacies are (since pharmacies and food are the only local industries you will see), is piled high with garbage. But hey, it’s a college, it needs a Starbucks! I’m betting this place will be jammed next week when classes start, and I will be headed over there sometime in the near future.
Next on the slate for our little corner of the ghetto: a Target. The only store that would make me forget how much I hate this job sometimes. Progress is a beautiful thing, kids.
