Guessing Game - ANSWERS

The company name and location in the blanks here are:

Company: Starbucks
Location: Missoula

The excerpts I listed were from an editorial in yesterday's Missoulian.

Isn't this quote just so applicable to Pullman and Wal-Mart?

It's an encouraging reflection of how well things are going in Missoula these days that little else is causing as much teeth-gnashing among the local intelligentsia than the impending opening of a downtown Starbucks coffee shop.

It seems that local intelligentsia everywhere are not happy unless they are bitching about something. Of course, no one lifted a finger when THREE Starbucks opened in Pullman over the last few years. There's no baristas union actively fighting them to fund the battle.

I commend the entire editorial to you.
