Back to The Grind in Chicago

So far my favorite within-walking-distance coffee shop is The Grind (which is just up the street from me). I'm not going to re-review the place, not much has changed since last week, but an interesting development in computer counts. Last time I was here Mac won a crushing victory. However, when I first walked in today, there were 4 PC's up and running and only 1 Mac!

But the competitive landscape has shifted sharply in just the few minutes it took for me to get my coffee, put too much honey in it, and then make it spill all over the counter by overflowing it with half-and-half. As I right this, we now have 4 PC's and 4 Macs in operation. That's right, like Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series, Mac has stepped it up.

Running Total: 17 Macs, 15 PC's

One quick note about The Grind's food. I had a Feta cheese and Spinach pie. It was awful. I mean, really bad. It would have been overpriced had it been free. So it was outrageous at $3. I may give their bagels a shot some day, but for now, avoid the food.
