I live in a small town of less than 1k people the closest bigger town which is about 20 miles away is Martinsville, Va which is home to the smallest track in NASCAR twice a year it gets over run by 20-30x the normal amount of people. This past year a Starbucks got built in the parking lot of a Rural King which is pretty much for the NASCAR fans during race week your average area resident could give a f*CK about Starbucks most of them were hoping for a Popeyes or another Bojangles

Starbucks or not, cool video.
Great to get to see our young draft picks in an informal setting.
Welcome to Seattle guys.
Rest assured, you are in a football town.
Leave nothing on the table.

Plenty of local, better mom and pop coffee places that have that Seattle coffee vibe. Didn't need to do *****.
That's the rub. This particular coffee business sponsors this sort of thing and we talk about it. .Net advertises a product and doesn't even get paid for it.

I prefer the DIY. I get an organic dark roast brand off of Amazon called Mayorga. That I make in a drip coffee maker and add about 26oz to a 32 oz bullet blender with 2-3 tablespoons of high fat butter comes out like a latte

I am not normally one who cares about organic food but coffee is by far the most fumigated crop in the world

For a while I was drinking a dark roast from Camano Island roasters that was very smooth but got really expensive it’s now about $20 for a 12 oz bag which included free delivery. It is shade grown which is supposed to reduce its acidity and they were a small operation that would only package the beans that were ordered to be shipped out. I don’t know if this was 100% the truth but it was very good I just drink too much coffee to justify the price. Most coffee that is roasted and packaged can sit in a warehouse for up to a year before it’s shipped

^ I agree AZ, coffee is sprayed with a lot of chem/pesticide and I've went organic with whole bean coffee for sometime now. I'm not big on all that organic type stuff but eating healthy & watching what we ingest is important.
I don't often do the drive thru coffee thing much anymore, same with fast food & energy drinks.
Older, wiser, poorer.
I hope our rookies know WA state is more than just Starbucks. Plenty of great places to see and things to do if explore a bit.
And the 12's, we're ready for another SB win.
