Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was only one Starbucks Coffee, located at Seattle's Pike Place Market...
Since the building is in an historic area they are not allowed to remodel the old shop to look like the rest of the chain's stores and the original signage with the original super foxy mermaid logo is still used.

she's not super foxy so much as half naked ...

really rather unattractive, I think ...

aaaaww, I think she is bee-yoo-tiful!

I think it's the tail ... the freaky double tail. Mermaids have one tail with a small split at the end! Ok, so fantastic creatures can look however you want them to look ... but still!

(yeah - she is totally naked. You're right. I'm silly.)

The original mermaid looks like she is about to, um, use your icon.

You have a great user icon. Rather freaky, but good.

I made a point of checking this out when I lived in Seattle a couple years ago. Pretty cool, I think, that they kept it like that.

the coffee is better at that particular location than any other in the world, and i honestly wish i was kidding.
