That's a chain, isn't it? And I know there's at least one of those in OC. I think my favorite Dietrich's swipe at Starbucks is the slogan, "If we were on every corner, we wouldn't be special." But I'm still more likely to go to Starbucks than Dietrich's, which MAY be because they're on every corner! What about Gloria Jean’s? That’s a chain, isn’t it?

They do apparently have two more in the county---both in malls. This morning's paper has a notice that <a href="http://www.itsagrind.com/" rel="nofollow">It's a Grind</a>, where we usually had breakfast during <a href="http://www.hyperborea.org/journal/category/series/comic-con-2004/" rel="nofollow">last year's Comic-Con</a>, has opened three stores in Orange County. Yep, here in Orange County, home of Richard Nixon and bastion of conservatism, there are five million places to buy lattes.
