Yes, I did it... I walked to Starbucks this morning... and I will admit I felt like a bit of a freak doing it.
Starbucks will soon (April 28th) be open in Waynesville (hey, this is our very first Starbucks in Haywood County!) and the caffe-aholics are swarming to Ingles to keep an eye on the progress. Practice your ordering - - “I want a triple venti mocha latte with only about half double … (8 comments)
Can you believe it. Understanding that the mortgage industry impacts many different markets, effects housing, trickles into spending..ect. But who would have thought that the industry would be to blame for coffee sold at grande prices. Remember that SB was reformatting their business model prior to the mortgage crunch. 
The line has been drawn, and the battle began today at "dawn". 
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but at Starbucks, it's quite delightful.
Tuesday April 8th 2007 Starbucks Coffee Introduced Pike Place Blend.This will be the new coffee served at every location in The United States. Starbucks will be rolling it out to Canadian stores in the near future.

Ok...I must
admit I love chocolate. There is just something
about eating chocolate that relieves stress
and gives me a peaceful, relaxed feeling.
I recently have been asked why I joined Connect Realty and I would like to share my response for others who might ask me that same question. First of all thank you! I am more than happy to talk to you about Connect Realty and my decision to join them. I … (2 comments)
In the savvy high tech Seattle area there are many high profile corporations including Microsoft, Safeway, Starbucks, Kenworth & Alaska Airlines. It's typical for the real estate consumer to begin their search online. Once the consumer becomes more serious about making a move they want a real estate expert to assist them, … (11 comments)
The current real estate market has taken us all on a collective roller coaster ride. Those that couldn't stomach the ride have already started to leave the profession. Those of us that have chosen to remain in the profession will be faced with some challenges. Many of us have not been … (29 comments)
Starbucks. Expensive coffee, or cheap office space? You be the judge.I would say at least 85% of my SendOutCards business meetings are held at one of the many Starbucks in my area. In fact, I am sitting in one right now. I'm early for an appointment, and thought this would be … (5 comments)
A copycat recipe for Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino
Joe Bean's is the best coffee shop in the Burg! I get a cappuccino with soy and sugar free vanilla syrup. Yesterday I had their wintry mix which is a mocha with Carmel and coconut. It was deli-sh!
When I changed my blogs to ASSOCIATES ONLY, I lost my AR points by the thousands. Ranking, status, you name it...I couldn't get a cup of Starbucks or McDonalds coffee. I was broke. Until people started ASSOCIATING with me. YES... There is a flame of compassion burning in my blog. Check … (4 comments)
So you think the housing industry has slowed down a bit, Howard Schults, CEO of Starbucks, announced that sales are slipping and he's going to close ALL 7,100 nationwide stores on February 26 for a three hour period to re-train the baristas on making perfect shots!
This is a pet peeve story.
In 2005 we saw a paradigm shift in Starbucks Corporations retail strategy. A strategy from making customers at home in their "third place" to serving consumer rapidly at the drive thru. It seems this strategy is working as people want their latte now and they want it fast. Now Starbucks has … (6 comments)
That's me! More and more business people, Like me, have been using starbucks as a vitual office space for many years, in addition to your regular office, or perhaps you have even replaced your full time office space with a home office and taken on Starbucks as your meeting ground with … (4 comments)

Brix Wine Bar in Juanita is one of the reasons that the Juanita area is HOT. They have a great menu, terrific atmosphere, cheerful waitstaff, killer Sangria and Mac and Cheese on the Happy Hour offerings. Try them out for Happy Hour on a Sunday afternoon; not crowded and a blast … (0 comments)
For those of you who have followed Starbuck's meteoric rise over the last decade, this post is for you. Seems as if the chain is rolling out a $1 cup of coffee - yes, you heard it right! I saw a blurb about this in our local Sunday paper and used … (4 comments)
Pukalani Terrace Center is the main shopping center in Pukalani Maui, what could almost pass as "downtown" Pukalani. You can't miss it if you drive up the Haleakala Highway, and take the exit for Pukalani, along the old highway. You'll come to it at the traffic light at Pukalani Street, and turn … (3 comments)
I have heard it again, you can't do that. I was in the mall and was standing in line at a local coffee house, you may have heard of it, Starbucks? Anyway, there was a Woman with her Son standing behind me, he asked his mom, if he could be president … (7 comments)
OK, here we go, Mr. Bill (who memed me demanding that I reveal to him, you and the world what I am reading)--
NW Landing is a highly demanded community, whether you are a military family(or individual) that is relocating to the area or a civilian family looking for that quiet, friendly community to raise your children. Within walking distance of any part of town(30+ miles of paved trails), you can find a … (0 comments)
Is it just me, or are there an insane number of kids drinking coffee nowadays?
For those of you that don't know me personally let me share a secret with you. I LOVE COFFEE. I am a coffee fiend. Especially in the morning. I must have a cup of Mojo upon awakening and plenty more throughout the day.

Should North Highline be annexed by Burien or Seattle?
This goes in the Believe It Or Not annals.
The typical broker's open houses don't work in our marketplace. If you are one of the lucky few who are in the areas of Kitsap that still do weekly tours, great, jump in and good luck. If you aren't (like us poor Bremerton folk), well, heaven help you!
I am beginning to think that Needham is the restaurant capital of Massachusetts. We are very fortunate because we don't have to go far to find a great restaurannt. Needham has lots to choose from. New Garden, Mandarin Cuisine, The Rice Barn, Pho Pasteur, Euro Taste Bistro, Fava, Fuji Steak House, … (0 comments)

With over one hundred total businesses, the ever-changing tapestry of shops and restaurants brings a rich diversity of entertainment, food and drink while preserving … (0 comments)
In the past few weeks, there have been many discussions regarding recession, real estate, stocks, et al. I was curious as to what the hysteria was all about. As a real estate agent, I had to know the true facts since the news essentially affects my business.

So today I went to the doctor and had my physical. 
We have a new Starbucks in Riverview, located in Winthrop on the corner of Providence and Bloomingdale. It is 2,000 sq ft so there is plenty of room to go get a coffee, surf the web or just visit with friends. What makes this one a bit different is the glass … (1 comments)

"OUR LIVES BEGIN TO END THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER"
I received a follow up email from "neighborsgo" Editor, Angela Chambers and I have included it below. I just blogged about this new "magazine like" publication in the Dallas Morning News yesterday (click here)and forwarded the link on to Ms. Chambers. Her response is below in the form of this invitation. 
Whenever I can, I like to celebrate life's good news with my client friends. Last week through a friend, I found out that one of my sellers had been promoted at work. I simply sent her a card with a Starbucks gift card in it and said how happy I was … (2 comments)
I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD I WAS WHEN I WAS INTRODUCED TO THESE MAGIC BEANS. But, I do know that I cannot survive one day without them. These little beans have some mysterious quality that enables me. I feel more powerful after I have them. My relationship with them is like a sick … (23 comments)
Walk along the downtown area in Westfield NJ and you'll feel like you've stepped into a totally trendy place. There's Starbucks, Gap, and my favorite, Cold Stone Creamery, to mark some of the highlights of the town. Westfield is west of Garwood, east of Fanwood, and along Central Avenue one can … (0 comments)

In a young city like Toronto that still has to get over its warts and pimples, real estate agents are often happy when a Starbucks decide to open a new location in the area which they work and farm. The decision for Starbucks to locate in the so-called 'up and coming … (6 comments)
This Latte keeps me sane...well most days!
When I heard that The Home Depot was giving away one million Compact Florescent Bulbs for Earth Day, I immediately went online to email all my Michigan friends and customers. There are several locations in Michigan. The two closest are in Commerce Township and White Lake Township. 
This is not a new concept however it is a concept which is not easily executed for various reasons. Keller Williams does not use the most used home search engine on the net-Realtor.com. Starbucks doesn't have commercials. If you are not sure just try to find one. You won't see any. … (2 comments)
Sometime this summer on Edgewood Drive and #371 North in Baxter another coffee experience will be opening up. Area residents have watched and wondered what was going into the 1,835 square foot building next to Arby's. Now we know. 
I guess I'm on a Starbucks caffeine high right now. Seems like Starbucks' Chairman, Howard Schultz, has a soft spot in his heart for all things Oklahoma. First, he sells the Seattle Sonics to an Oklahoma Citian (what do you call someone from Oklahoma City?). Now, he's exporting another homegrown Seattle … (1 comments)
Spring is in the Air? Not on Cougar Mountain. 
Okay, I love coffee. Specifically espresso. Preferablly first thing in the morning. I can and will make my own. Much better if someone else does it. You have to understand that until a year ago, I lived on an Indian reservation in Northern New Mexico and the closest Starbucks was a … (3 comments)
First off, I'm a dog lover and would never kick a real one unless it was chewing off a limb. The metaphoric hound I speak of though, is Starbucks---the coffee people. I've mentioned them before and often. They've clearly got me... and as my 'mug shot' (an Ardell DellaLoggia-ism) in the sidebar clearly shows, it … (5 comments)
Staging is finally becoming part of our everyday vocabulary here in our region. This is great news for all you stagers and realtors trying to get home sellers to prepare their homes for sale for spring market. I was speaking with a fellow stager a few weeks ago and she told … (11 comments)
Since comparing everything to Starbucks (affectionately known around my house as Star-yucks) seems to be one of the better ways of getting the message through here it is.
Who’s number one on your list for mentoring and practical advice?If you go further than the tip of your nose to answer that question, you’ve gone too far.
I had an aha moment today... It was actually a Starbucks moment (and no I wasn't overdosing on a double espresso,) but I did stop and say aha, or rather, "that's the true meaning of customer service. 
Sometimes I can get so discouraged and down in the dumps until I get a phone call or an e-mail from a very dear friend. 
Who would have thought that giving a digital coupon redeemable for a free beverage to a "limited group of employees" could become a national caffeinated beverage philanthropic movement in less than one week? 
Anna Bourland at AdvancedAccess private forums shared with us this coupon for Free Iced Starbucks beverage, so I thought I'd share it here at ActiveRain ;) Print it out and present at any Starbucks shop participating in the promo (I hope they all do) before 09/30/06.
