Everyday I ride my bike by the corner of Morgan and Randolph on my way to work. I noticed that there was this nice corner storefront that has been under construction for a few weeks. But today I finally saw what it will be…. another Starbucks :/ what a waste! there is already one about 2 blocks down on the corner of Madison and Morgan Why can’t there be a cool and hip independent coffee shop there instead?
Just this week there has been talk in the the business world about Starbucks reporting first ever traffic drop. I wonder why this is? Maybe because they have hit the point of saturation? Maybe because all the stores are the same and they are boring… or maybe because their coffee sucks!! (I know that last statement might be a point of contention but really I hate their coffee)
Eric Karjaluoto at IdeasOnIdeas already saw this coming back in July when he wrote up this blog post on the Starbucks Growth Paradox.
For the past fews years I have had a been trying to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). (I am sure I will eventually write more posts on this subject). When I mention this to people they seem kind of perplexed. Usually they are vaguely aware of what HFCS is if they have heard of it at all. This is why when I heard the documentary King Korn was playing in Chicago at Facets I was pretty excited.

I recently picked up cast aluminum grill pan from Colombian company Imusa for $12.99 at a Los Cuatro Caminos grocery in Logan Square. It is a basic pan with solid construction and nice form.
This is the first post for testing blog integration into my site. I hope it works! Please let me know if you encounter any problems using my blog. This is probably my fifth time trying start a blog. The problem is I never know what to write and I am usually too busy (or lazy) to post anything. To solve this problem I have decided to to write about anything and everything. Expect to see posts coving topics such as technology, politics, food, music, travel, bikes, fashion and just about anything else I am interested in.
