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.
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.

Not much right on Winter Hill. A couple of Sub/Pizza joints,but there is quite a bit close by in either Davis or Union Sq's. If you are driving, it is worth going to either of the Squares, if you are taking the bus, I would recommend Vinny's

further away (ball square, but right on broadway -- bus #89) is the urban gourmet. not much for ambience (though neither is wangs) but there are tables and great, cheap food. pizza, pastas and innovative weekly specials.
