Our Favorite Starbucks just became "Homier for the Holidays," thanks to our very own Ghost of Christmas Past, Barista Tyler. Starting today, Tyler is asking customers to revisit their roots by signing a special World Atlas he is keeping by the Espresso Bar. The concept is simple: Just turn to the page where your home town is located and sign it, indicating where you are from. My own walk down memory lane took me back to Scituate, Massachusetts, the small town in Plymouth County where I grew up, just South of Boston on Cape Cod Bay. Two other customers -- Liz and Aaron -- had already signed the same page. I knew that Liz grew up nearby but I've never met Aaron. Interestingly, the page marked Alcatraz is still blank but, then again, rumor has it that our Notorious Neighborhood Newspaper Thief is away for the holidays ...!
