I used to find the Starbucks regular coffee a little too strong for my taste, but I love their lattes. Now I've heard they changed their coffee and have a different blend? What makes Starbucks so nice is the atmosphere. I like having a comfortable easy type chair to sit in and read the newspaper and drink my coffee. In warm weather, the tables outside on Sumter are nice to sit and watch the activities in the Square. We'll try to save some nice weather for you, Cologal. Cassie, you're right, it will be nice to have Barnies as an alternative.
