the one where, notoriously, at one point you could look out the window and see another Starbucks. technically two, if you count the one on the second floor of Barnes and Noble

i do remember the starbucks across from a starbucks and you could see the third starbucks........ it's already gone, too, it's all boarded up with no signage. who told you it was unionizing? the articles i saw said it was an absurd rent increase.

I saw things referencing both. Leading to "Is it union busting or predatory landlords? Which evil is responsible here?"

Feels like Seattle closing 6 major locations because of 'crime,' but 5/6 had just made union noises and none of them had had any incidents of criminal activity beyond graffiti and a single broken window.
