The Fresnan talks coffeehouse blues, is it the same in Bakersfield? - By N.L. Belardes
Coffeehouse blues. Every city with locally established coffeehouses gets affected by the Starbucks takeover. The Fresnan even brought it up in a blog topic about a documentary filmmaker's clip on the Starbucks' corporate brainwashing of the American coffeehouse vibe.
There's even this great YouTube video from the documentary segment, "Starbucked":
I wrote in the comments to the Fresnan:
It's the same in Bakersfield, though there is a local drive-thru coffee house chain doing well, and a downtown coffeehouse that has survived the Starbucks takeover.
Local coffee and local coffeehouse atmosphere is better than Starbucks. Starbucks just wants us to think their vibe is what every city should be about...
And since Starbucks coffee is better left dumped as if in Boston Tea Party fashion, I leave you with this blog with the famous Bakersfield Stabucks Starfucked dumping, and this cheesy video taken from the bowels of some Starbucks somewhere:
