Starbucks just closed a 30 year location that operated in Manhattan NYC since the 90's, and was once the largest of its kind in the city. Store workers blame rent increases which the landlord disputes, but local residents think the store may have had other problems that lead to its closure...
NYC crime, homelessness, and employee safety all play into this review of why the largest Starbucks in NYC is gone.

How long will the real estate paradox in NYC continue? Commercial real estate has high vacancy rates, rents and values are rapidly declining. Yet residential rents and home prices continue to rise.
Starbucks is leaving NYC...over crime
Instead of one single Starbucks location in NYC is closing... over crime.
Democrat controlled cities failing. Democrats are like parasites they infect the host, feed off it’s victim and when the host dies, they move on to another one.
Robert Heinlein envisioned a future America similarly. In addition to guards and our current gated communities, automobiles boasted armor plating.
If Trump loses, it will be clear there is no way to vote ourselves out of the coming horror ushered in by Democrat progressives.
I know, actually I am not sure we can even if Trump is elected. We saw what they did last time, it is hard to imagine it would be worse this time.
I’m just waiting for Snake Pliskin to show up.
The original Starbucks in Seattle recently shut down because of crime and employees being unsafe.
“Maybe the Indians will buy it back for $24 .”
Prolly not, overpriced
This story is fake news. One — just one — Starbucks store was closed in NYC.
Meanwhile, a 2024 Statistica report says Starbucks has more stores in NYC than in any other American city.

Heck...it costs $2.77 for a small coffee here at Dunkin in my little town in N. GA. I wonder what the magic *bucks coffee up in NYC costs
“I’m just waiting for Snake Pliskin to show up.”
Saw that the other day and thought the same thing. It is getting close in all the big cities isn’t it?
Indian’s making plane on how to reestablish NY and keep the damned beads.
Yep, which is why I became a country boy 2+ years ago. Zero regrets.
Fortunately except for a couple ignorant and curious periods while younger I have been rural almost all my life too. Grew up rural and kept going back. Back to stay. I will live in a tent and cook over a fire before I will ever go back to the city.
The real problem is the drug problem. That part of town is like a street fair for drugs.
And also it seems to me that more and more New Yorkers are now considering drugs to be as benign as cigarettes and chewing gum.
I quickly rediscovered my roots, and the absolute joy of rural life. Now my skyline is defined by grain silos rather than skyscrapers. And I just can't say enough positive about the people that have become part of my life.
“And I just can’t say enough positive about the people that have become part of my life.”
Thanks for sharing this...
And that is it right there. In the cities folks live ten feet from each other and never meet, never want too. In the country whole communities are all one big family. :)
Can’t call them Indians.
