Starbucks @ Broadway & Devon - Update.

Rendering courtesy of Starbucks to open this coming summer 2013.

               Just released via mass media, an updated rendering of the new Starbucks at the previous Maxwell hotdog stand. The driveway is quite long, hopefully long enough so that traffic doesn't back up onto Broadway unlike the Dunkin Donuts on Clark south of Devon. Signage indicating that you just entered Edgewater (leaving the confines of Rogers Park) would be posted as well.  Starbucks has a store made out of container boxes already on the west coast in Seattle (Tukwila suburb) in 2011.

            From the DNAinfo article "The Starbucks would also have a walk-up window and outdoor seating in winter months." Hopefully this was an error, because outdoor seating in the winter months would be unpopular with the local populace and not likely to draw many takers. This would also present a public health safety hazard, promoting sitting outdoors in the bitter cold. Perhaps the outdoor seating would have heat lamps or seat warmers like in fancy import cars however. Glad that there is a walk up window however.

Update 1/26/13 11am - However cool and innovative heated seats and and overhanging heat lamps would be it is indeed an error and DNAinfo.com's article has been amended. No outdoor seating in winter months folks.
