I don't see the correlation. Starbucks doesn't require its employees to
bounce the store and sidewalk and carry guns.
One of these days there will be a master plan developer that fosters
mom-and-pop businesses. People will get sick of Starbucks, and drive to
the other downtown that has the mom-and-pops.
There's plenty of empty prime land west of Mill Ave just waiting for
such a concept.
Anyway, I'll vote for Muse... But I will recall that vote for a similar
place with beer.
