THE FIRST STARBUCKS: I mentioned that on Sunday's all-the-way-down-Broadway walk, we passed 23 separate Starbucks locations- and on that same day, the New York Times published an article on the northernmost of those Starbucks, the one on 138th St. The article dealt with the arrival of the coffeeshop in the West Harlem neighborhood earlier this year, as a symbol of that area's slow but growing gentrification.
