side note...
When I wanted to get a read and feel for the mainstream culture of a place, I would go to a Starbucks. Starbucks are like a neutral Petri dish. They are the same everywhere. They even use the same cleaning products. The only difference is the people.
That's some wisdom, how long or how many visits before you have a good idea
aside to the asideโฆ
there was a ~5 year period in my life where I was traveling more than I was home, mostly internationally. Starbucks quickly became the first place I sought out because of the consistency. no matter where you are, a Starbucks coffee is going to be the same. thereโs comfort in that consistency.
exactly ๐ค
that is why i did it at first. Seattle kid looking for some reliable nostalgia. didnโt notice the petri dish thing until later. or more specifically, in York, Nebraska
the petri dish theory is super interesting and makes sense, going to file that one away for later. never been to Nebraska, donโt even have any preconceptions
Cool idea โ๏ธ
