    He was talking about the intersection of Shepard and West Gray. Two standalone stores and one inside the Barnes & Noble right next door. They closed one of the standalones. However, there's another one inside the Kroger a block away so three Starbucks on two consecutive blocks on the same side of the street.

And- if you looked kitty corner across the street- ANOTHER Starbucks!!! 🤣🤣 Unfortunately, we were not wearing watches- though I’m sure our laughing fits and comments of finding yet another End point of the Universe got at least a few looks. 😂😂😎

It always makes me cringe when U.S.A. residents misappropriate the partial name of an entire continent to refer to themselves simply because in the midst of carving out a country no one thought of a descriptive label for the inhabitants that wasn't wrong or a paragraph long. That is just stupid, short sighted and annoying, but for it to appear in aa Lewis Black presentation is so ,so sad as he is so smart, informed, aware and completely not the person that you could point it out to as he could verbally slaughter a college of language professors let alone a dumb shmuck like me.
