I Just Heard Something You Won't Believe!

Walzem Rd is getting a Fucking Starbucks Dammit!! Yea that's right, they're making it out of the old Burger King right at the corner. Now, I've always said that Walzem could get one, I'm mean hell all of us aren't poor who live out here. Oh yea, and something big is suppose to happen to Windsor Park Mall too, but that's yet to be disclosed till March.

:wtf What is so special about a Starbucks? Some places have them a quarter-mile apart.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I'm a little skeptical as the thread starter warned I might be.

Hell, I still can't believe it's not butter.

[Shelly]

I've got 5 of them by me within a 3 or 4 mile radius

I can think of two (Bandera/1604 & Bandera/Guilbeau)...where are the others?

[Spurfect]

where abouts on Walzem? that road is close to my work... and if the Starbucks ends up being close to my work, then I'm in big trouble :lol

Right where the burger king use to be, which is right across the street from Windsor Park Mall. It'll basically be right off 35 almost. As "ghetto" as walzem is, it's hard to believe but it's coming from a real good source. Starbucks is one of those franchises that's real particular about where they build. Whatever's going into Windsor Park Mall I'm sure played vital to them deciding on building there.

[Holt's Cat]

For Walzem that's big news. Next we need Buddy whatshisface to talk about how Walzem is going to supplant Rodeo Drive.

[Shelly]

Target, B&N, and there's one in Helotes (i think it's near Bill Miller's)

[KEDA]

good

I knew if I was there long enough I would get one near the store.

[AlamoSpursFan]

:wtf What is so special about a Starbucks? Some places have them a quarter-mile apart.

Lewis Black's bit about a Starbucks directly across the street from a Starbucks is classic.

Those of you with Sirius have no doubt heard it several times this week.

:lol

[Rusty Shackleford]

Walzem is far from ghetto. I liked living over there.

I'll be more suprised if one goes up next to the Shell at the corner of MLK and Pecan Valley.

[Buddy Holly]

Many people are saying Windcrest's very secretive Project Castle has to do with Windsor Park Mall. They're saying the city of SA will let Windcrest annex the shut down mall and its surrounding land and turn it into a large shopping center (a la the Forum).

:lmao

When did you live there? 1983?

[u2sarajevo]

Forget Starbucks...

Roast your own Coffee.... (http://www.sweetmarias.com/instructions.html)

[Shelly]

AND....McDonald's (http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-coffee.artfeb03,0,4708300.story?coll=hc-headlines-local) has the best coffee after all!

My mom said she thought Starbucks tastes like it's burnt just like the article.


And I'm officially declaring Walgreens as the new Starbucks. There's one on every corner it seems.

[ChumpDumper]

I agree that fresh Mickey D coffee is better than Charbucks, but Dunkin Donuts is usually better up here.

[dallaskd]

starbuck lattes are awesome but the coffee and hot chocolate is shit

[Shelly]

If I'm drinking regular coffee, i take it black. I've never had a regular coffee from Charbucks (ha!). I get a cappuccino and do add sweetner to it, so I guess it would be hard to tell.

[Extra Stout]

And yet still there aren't enough... especially around the Medical Center.

Yeah seriously. There's 4 very near us, right?

I am in trouble.. :lol
I don't drink their coffee either. but i love their frappacinos and lattes!!

[Shelly]

yeah, if not more!

[exstatic]

Walzem has been ghetto for at LEAST 15 years. I think that's about when peeps started getting stabbed and/or shot at the VIA Park and Ride at WPM.

Great about Starbucks, but WTF is up with BK? They've been folding like cheap card tables all over town for the past 5 years...

[bendmz]

Well Mr. Holly, when the hell is this damn coffee shop coming to Guadalupe Street ? :drunk

[AlamoSpursFan]

Great about Starbucks, but WTF is up with BK? They've been folding like cheap card tables all over town for the past 5 years...

My first job out of HS was at the BK on Rittiman which is miraculously still open. I haven't set foot in a BK since then. Just the thought of their food after the 10 month sentence I put in there makes me almost violently ill.

Dunno what happened to them though, the franchise I worked for had all kinds of expansion plans back then...apparently they fell through.

(On a related note, the 10 months of hell I spent at BK led to my first REAL job...the store manager at Bizmart on Walzem mentioned the fact that his first job as a teenager was at BK, and he said he couldn't take a week of it so he liked my "stick-to-it-iveness" :lol )

[Guru of Nothing]

Every time I see a Starbucks, it makes me want to go somewhere and grab a good cup of coffee.

I've never been to it, but I hear It's A Grind over by Huebner Oaks is pretty good.

oh that's real close by. I keep forgetting to go and try it. hmm... maybe tomorrow

[Shelly]

Is it in The Strand part or across the street (I thnk by Pei Wei)?

[Spurfect]

i don't know what the shopping center is called... but I believe it's the shopping center across of the Walgreens that is on the corner of Huebner and Vance Jackson
or maybe I'm thinking of that flower power hippie place...lol
i'm confused lol. I know i've seen It's A Grind before though

[Shelly]

Report back if the coffee (http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&rls=DKUS,DKUS:2006-39,DKUS:en&q=it%27s+a+grind&near=San+Antonio,+TX&cid=0,0,8550156022757395368&ll=29.547556,-98.575542&spn=0,.02&sa=X&oi=local&ct=image) is good!

ah ok.. I was wrong.. I guess it's over there by where Panda Express and Freebirds is... if I get up early enough I'll go try it! :tu

[CubanMustGo]

No, I didn't know that ... but regardless, the coffee at Seattle's Best is a whole lot better. ;-)

Hate to break it to you, but it probably comes from the same warehouse. :spin

I don't drink SBUX regular coffee, just Lattes when I'm running late occasionally. They're good, but expensive. I make my own at home, one of the few people who actually uses their Espresso machines. I think I got bored once, and calculated that my daily dose costs me like 30 cents, and that may have been before I started to buy my coffee at Costco, 8.99 for 2.5 lbs of GOOD fiar trade on the bean coffee.

Could you imagine a starbucks in Canyon Lake?

Hwy 46 @ Hwy 281

actually 46 @ Old Boerne is where it is going to be, I see it almost every day.

its across from Bill Brown Elementary.

[Extra Stout]

whats is funny is that 15years ago windsor park mall was were the rich folks hung out...........now its the new "eastside"......you know, dark even in the daytime. :fro
Fifteen years ago was 1992. No, rich folks did not hang out at Windsor Park Mall in 1992, unless by "rich" you mean "people who don't wear V-neck undershirts with stains on the front out in public" or "people whose cars do not have at least one fender painted primer gray."

Which might be what you mean.

[Extra Stout]

ok, I guess time flies when you are having fun, make that 20years ago.
Make it 25 and you have a deal.

[AlamoSpursFan]

In 82-83 I was in 8th grade also...what a coinkydinks.

WPM had its' day, but it was a very shortlived day because Ingram Park opened not too long afterwards and that's where all the rich folks went before they remodeled North Star.

My one claim to fame in life was the day I had the high score on all 5 Galaga machines in WPM (3 at Aladdin's Castle, 1 in the theater lobby, and 1 in that little arcade outside of Monkey Wards) at the same time. I should have just offed myself at 15 because it's been all downhill from there...

:lmao

[KEDA]

what is this talk of making Windsor into a "Forum" type of shopping place?

[bendmz]

What's this shit !!!! you mean to say that WPM is not a suberb of New Orleans anymore ????? :clap

[tlongII]

Starbucks Rules! Resistance is futile.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never stepped into a Starbucks.

yeah then they'll call it "Star "ima few bucks short" but i'll pay ya tomorrow.

But have you snapped into a slim jim?
