You probably don't have a local coffee house BECAUSE there is a Starbucks. =(
I'm thankful that there is no Starbucks here! We do have a local coffee shop that has been in business for years and I know full well that if a Starbucks opened up in Danville, then the Main Street Coffee Emporium would be no more. =(
I also feel bad about the fact that I haven't been to the coffee shop since they changed owners a couple of years ago. =( Time, and occasionally money, keep me from going. Not to mention that parking on Main Street SUCKS!!! There is only parallel parking, which is usually full, and the only "parking lots" off the street are owned by businesses so they aren't for people other than *their* patrons. Oh, and this is great: There's an abandoned hotel on main street that has a parking *garage*. Is it being used for public parking? Nope. It's roped off with no tresspassing signs.
Of course, it would make too much sense to actually USE the parking garage instead of letting it go to rot...
