That looks like a great place... I too love to see a local coffeeshop going in over Starbucks. However, I think having a Starbucks has certain merits as far as attracting other national retailers is concerned, so the idea shouldn't be discounted completely.
The Mayo is such a terribly beautiful building, so glad to see it coming back.
Starbucks just opened downtown 5 blocks away in the Crowne Plaza hotel
My boss went to the new Starbucks this morning. I had been under the impression that it would be completely inside the hotel and literally a kiosk, but she said that there is an entrance door on the plaza, and that the Starbucks is sectioned so that it doesn't feel like a hotel coffee kiosk but a real store.
She pointed out that when it is a little warmer, having the Starbucks enter/exit to the plaza will mean people using the plaza as a commons instead of just a walk throughway.
