Here Comes Starbucks!

Today marked the official groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction on the first Starbucks Coffee shop in Ashland! Being Ashland's Economic Development Director, Chris has been coordinating & moving this project forward since his first day on the job. The public was invited to witness this momentous occasion, and there was a good turnout, despite the chilly weather! Chris is 4th from the left in the picture below:

Doesn't he look nice? The other folks include officials from the city, the lady who owns the land, & a rep from Starbucks. Woo hoo! Actual construction will start soon, and I should be able to enjoy an iced/decaf/grande/1-pump mocha/1-pump mint/non-fat/no whip latte by spring! (it's been so long, I don't even know if that drink's in the right order or not anymore... Donna, how'd I do?)
