Now open

New Downey Starbucks

I don't even like coffee. But I'm still excited at the opening of a new Starbucks within walking distance of my home. (I like their hot chocolate.)

According to the Downey Patriot's initial report last year, "the Starbucks will 'bring liveliness to the southwest corner of Florence Avenue and Paramount Boulevard, that does not currently exist in the area.' ...[T]he new café will benefit the entire shopping center...Traffic in the intersection will not be impacted, city officials said."

Well, we'll see about the traffic. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my hot chocolate!

  1. I confess it seems to me a bit sad that it would take a Starbucks to introduce "liveliness" to an intersection... :) Nevertheless, I also confess that I do occasionally purchase a coffee at Starbucks.

  2. Yes, it could be considered a sad statement about life in Downey. Personally, I thought that Pizza Hut and 31 Flavors were exciting enough, but what do I know? :-)
