All Starbucks stores (even those in close proximity to Episcopal cathedrals) were closed for several hours yesterday for some training. Here's an excerpt from an article about the closure in the Houston Chronicle

Luong is a regular at the Starbucks at Westheimer and Post Oak Boulevard, and employees had warned him about the closure. But 45 minutes after they locked the doors, he still was shivering outside, hanging out with a dozen other people who consider the coffee shop their second home.

I just want to point out that it was 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 Celcius) in Houston when Starbucks closed yesterday.

Brrr!

Elsewhere in Houston, for those who may be unfamiliar with the distribution of Starbucks stores in the city, are two stores located across the street from each other. I visited both on Christmas Day, 2007. One was closed.
