Like all of the other Community stores that I have seen, this one has local artwork, but it is a bit more subtle--part of the art is a mural on the outside brick wall, and part of it runs the lenght of the right-hand wall but is harder to see, because the eyes are immediately drawn to the unusual wooden walls and then the conference room. This Community store is also different because it is a relocation, rather than a brand new store.

Though the country's second (or first, depending on who you ask) city, downtown Los Angeles is not as vibrant as one would expect. So this is the first new store there in several years.

What a cool glass exterior! But be careful you don't try to walk off the property with your coffee and leave your car in the parking lot, because the attendant is rabid about the lot being for customers only!

This is the first (or is it the second) of a new concept of drive-thru store.
Torrance & Hawthorne, Torrance, California
Oh, silly me--the Starbucks maven himself had confused this store with the licensed kiosk in the Albertson's across the street. Thankfully, an eagle-eyed visitor to my site alerted me to the mix-up!

This is a pretty little store that opened around Christmas at this busy L.A. intersection. I overheard the staff talking about how they expected traffic to increase dramatically once the summer tourist season arrived. Gotta make a mental note to reshoot this store waaaay early in the morning. Years later, I reshoot it in the afternoon, and I think this photo looks much nicer than the original.

Ah, this is more like it--a downtown that doesn't look like it was built yesterday, but without the level of congestion and litter of a major city. Oh, this is Whittier, by the way.

This store surprised me, because I do not think I had seen a gas station/Starbucks combo since the Purge, and maybe for a decade even.
