The Starbucks legal arm finally got to them, too, it seems. Must have been seen as a threat to their future prostitution expansion foretold about in Idiocracy.

Actually, what offended Starbucks most was that Starbutts was serving Maxim coffee mix.

Yeah, things are changing. The Burger King is gone too.
But Grandma Polly's still queen of the Hill, though, showing kindness to strangers and breaking up fights from her humble Debut Bar throne.
They should make Polly mayor.

Considering half of what the Red Door carries can be found in a lot of regular shops these days, I wouldn't be surprised.

Personally, I'm waiting for the "Why would anyone want to go to a respectable place like Itaewon?" threads in a few years.
