Well, if it is any consolation, the old Dunkin' Donuts location at the intersection of PCH and Aviation is becoming a Pink Berry. I was down in LA for a few days and drove by it. I was saddened by the fact that the once great DD that supplied so many Bonus Cups to the likes of the Descendents and Black Flag is becoming a store called Pink Berry.
For what does this consolation anecdote serve? I don't know. Maybe you can find peace in the expansion of PB while battling the anger at 4 star hotel accommodations and silly parachuting-into-limo plane rides.
