Bread and Company now has beer?

Thanks to Mike L for suggesting that we add Bread and Company to our Winter Hill beer map. I'm not sure when this happened exactly, but the last update on their facebook page has this as 'coming soon' on 9/21. Maybe someone can confirm this?

An Italian, an Irishman and a Brazilian opened a restaurant in Somerville.

No, it’s not the start of a politically incorrect joke. It’s the origin of the best new hidden gem restaurant to hit Winter Hill.

Winterville Starbucks

The first step to rapidly injecting new life into a slowly evolving neighborhood is to open a Starbucks. Sure, sure, corporate greed and all that, but c'mon. I need caffeine and the Dunkin' coffee tastes like burned plastic to me. Don't get me wrong, I dig the Boston Creme, but that isn't gonna go far to wake me up in the morning.

So, how do you get a Starbucks in your neighborhood? Well, although Dunkin' franchises:

if you want a Starbucks in your neighborhood, you have to 'request' that they open a store in your neighborhood, because they do not franchise. Or, you can keep dragging your butt over to the one in the middle of nowhere on Somerville Ave.

"How can I request that a Starbucks store open in my neighborhood?
Please refer to the Contact Us section of our Web site to let us know of your interest for a new Starbucks store in your community"

So, that's the task for the Wintervillians today- contact Starbucks and let them know we want one. Let's see how long it takes.

PS: If you like Dunkin' coffee, we do have a few splendid ones right here in Winter Hill:
