I drive less than five miles to work. I pass one Starbucks, one Subway (really close to another, but hey, you missed me.) One McDonalds, and three 7-11’s On the alternate route, No Starbucks, No Subway, Two McDonalds, and Three 7-11’s. The alternate route is longer, but faster, since it avoids the center of town. The really long route has no Starbucks, one Subway, one McDonalds, and two 7-11s. Lots fewer lights on that one. There are dozens of seven elevens two blocks off each of my routes. I won’t even turn left to go to seven eleven! Tris ---

Starbucks: I do not know where a single Starbucks is. Are there any in South Carolina? McDonald’s: There is a McDonald’s 11 miles away across form work. Subway: There is a Subway two blocks from McDonalds 7-Eleven: See my reply for Starbucks. Within 5 miles there is a little country store where they will cut you a slab of cheese and a slab of bologna on request and if you really want the breakfast of champions, they will cut you a slab of liver pudding (puddin, thank you) or a piece of souse meat. :dubious: ---

**Starbucks** : 186 **McDonalds** : 98 **7-11** : 5 (I had no idea there were 7-11s in Manhattan! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one here. Back on Long Island they were all over.) **Subway** : 144.

Man, how can they have so many? I mean, they are staying in business, I just don’t understand it. Within 5.0 miles, I’ve got none of them. When you get into Greensboro proper, for the entire city, there are less than ten - most often around 5 - for each category. ---

McDonalds - As of May this year, 2 Subways - As of May this year, 2 (Guess when the new strip mall on the north end of town opened. 😛 ) Starbucks - 0 7-11s - 0 If you make it 15 miles, you can add 1 McDonalds and 1 Subway, 20 miles another McDonalds and Subway, and at about 35 miles, a large number of both. I haven’t seen a 7-11 in this part of the state at all, but I think they are in the larger cities in the state. There are Starbucks about 35 miles, don’t know how many for sure, but I have seen one. ---

My location isn’t in any of those map systems, but the 300m between the office and my apartment go through a very large train station. Between the Post, the street and the Station, I’ve counted 5 burgers of diverse ilks and one starbucks. ---
