To paraphrase R. Kelley, "It's the freakin' Beacon, baby; I'm about to have me some fun." Just because the things that happen don't happen in English doesn't mean they're not happening. And wtf is the deal with your outline of the neighborhood? Don't you trust <a href="http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/nmaps/fullcity600.jpg" rel="nofollow">the government</a>?

No freestanding cafe, no Starbucks stand in a grocery store -- nothing. Just as folks on the western edge of Beacon Hill overlook the Starbucks headquarters, Starbucks continues to overlook us.

We don't need a Starbucks -- we have Galaxie coffee and Java Love -- but it's the clearest sign of what a forgotten backwater Beacon Hill is. It's not bad, but it is weird.
