*bucs in my neighborhood

The green mermaid is build not far from me. It will be their 4th store in a town of 80,000. Years ago I'd have been apoplectic about having them in the neighborhood. Not so today. No more than another run-of-the-mill coffee purveyor moving into the area. I'm certain they will take a nibble or two, but not like the monster bite they would have years ago. As the article indicates, they are on every corner now and seem less unique and less of a threat to established coffee houses. The one that is being built is without a drive-through which I find very odd in this area. Anybody know if there are *bucs that stay open 24/7? Thats the rumor around now is that this one will be open all the time. I'd find that difficult in this area also. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19997662/
