Another sign of the times.....Starbucks is planning to close 600 stores nationwide, 59 of them in Florida.  The closings will unfortunately result in the loss of 12,000 jobs.  Below is a list of the stores closing in

the Tampa area.  Gratefully, I don't see any on the list for my home area of South Tampa.

• Countryside Mall II on US Highway 19 N. in Clearwater
• Lakeland Square Mall on US Highway 98 N. in Lakeland
• Racetrack Rd. & Hillsborough Ave. on Hillsborough Ave. in Tampa
  
• University Mall on Fowler Ave. in Tampa
• Citrus Park II in Citrus Park Town Center in Tampa
• 6th Ave. and 6th St. S. on 6th Ave. S. in St. Pete
• DeSoto Square on US Hwy 301 Blvd. W. in Bradenton
• Sarasota Square Mall on Tamiami Trail in Sarasota
