Slice of Life: Three Starbucks on Four Corners

Take a close look at this photograph from Vancouver, British Columbia and you'll see something interesting.  This is one of the places where there is a Starbucks on the corner opposite another Starbucks.  People who live in the neighborhood say that one of the cafes is a "biker" cafe and the other is for everyone else.  I don't know if "biker" is Canadian for "cyclist" or if they mean rough-and-tumble motorcycle madmen enjoy their lattes at one of these.  The locals also tell me that a third Starbucks is planned for the same intersection and should be open in a few months.
