WMUR > Starbucks Bets On Growing Demand For Drive-Throughs
The world's largest specialty coffee chain once shunned the drive-through concept, fearing it might alienate customers who like to come inside and sip their lattes while listening to music in cozy chairs.
Starbuck's future neighbors don't seem to keen on this trend.

Kendall Pond Pizza

This past Sunday we checked out the new Kendall Pond Pizza that opened next to Janetos. While it wasn't bad, and this is my fault, I was really hoping that it would be New York style and not like the other pizza joints in town (very similar crusts to the "Houses").

Verdict: I didn't love it but I would go back... after all they have slices which is a staple on "Bachelor" nights. I will say that they really put money into remodeling the place, and it shows, very nice. Also, very clean, like "wow, they must scrub this place every twenty minutes" clean.

Rant: Can someone please offer NY style pizza in Dover? I should have to travel down to Ken's West End Pizza for my fix.

There Is A Tea Shop In Dover?

The Dover Community News >Tea shop owner touts beverage’s benefits
MacDonald carries 110 varieties of loose tea in her recently-opened medicinal and quality teas shop, which is located in the newly renovated Franklin Galleria at 453 Central Ave. She said all types of tea come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. What makes each different is where it is grown and how it is processed.

Fosters > Toll plaza lanes won't change anytime soon
"The toll plazas will continue to have 'Exact Change' lanes on the left side of the toll plazas. Just how many of those lanes are at each toll facility will be dictated by how many drivers choose to throw coins in the buckets rather than convert to E-ZPass.
I bet these people don't even use the tolls.

Fosters > End nears for using N.H. highway tokens
As tokens come into the tolls now, they are seized and stockpiled in 'an undisclosed location.' Transportation Commissioner Carol Murray said she's keeping the location of the 9.5 million cache of tokens secret because they are still worth a pass through the toll plazas and she doesn't want anyone trying to loot the stash.
Call Nicolas Cage, I smell a sequel.

Idea Pool

Install WiFi into every copy of Wired, make the cover some sort of e-paper, and embed software that will change the title from "Wired" to "Tired" or "Expired".

Then, when you are looking through all stacked up Wireds you still haven't read yet, you could just look at the cover to see if the tech/ideas in the articles are outdated and worth skipping.
