We really needed a getaway but couldn’t get away, so instead booked two nights at the Drake Hotel on the Magnificent Mile for a super bargain. Walking down Michigan Ave., we passed by an old familiar stomping grounds. The 670 N. Michigan Starbucks store, #2548, is gone. In lieu of Starbucks, on this ground now stands the Ritz Carlton luxury condominiums (starting price: $1.7 million). As a result, I had to get my coffee that morning at Ghiradelli. No offense to Ghiradelli, but as you can see here I’m seriously hung over from bottles of wine the night before, and, it’s just not Starbucks.
So long, old pal.
Thumbs down.
