I have to admit, when the first Starbucks opened in the college town where I grew up, I hated it. I feared for the future of the local coffehouses and rued corporate homogenization. Quite a few years down the line, and my town has proven that where there are college kids, there is a bottomless need for coffee, as both Starbucks and the better of the local cafes are still standing. And I've come around to the ubiquitous green logo -- not only do they make a fine cup of hot chocolate, this is a socially aware company that has several programs to build community and sustain coffee communities.
