like the 50 something Philly Chief doesn't acknowledge S. serving as 'town centers' now. Police and Sheriffs well know their communities, turfs and beats. It's a critical part of the job. Like it or not Starbucks are everywhere for years, in so many suburbs and cities you can't go 50 yards without seeing one. Nothing comes close in the US, except McD.s, maybe. In that aspect the business has been a very successful enterprise, one that fulfills their original 'welcoming cozy neighborhood coffee house' intent, to the max.
