Last Word: Starbucks Lands A Historic Venue

Friday, June 16, 2006

O`BRYON: And finally tonight, George Washington may have slept there, but chances are he didn`t have a vente non-fat latte before hitting the sack. Well, now he can. The historic Maryland Inn in Annapolis is getting a Starbucks. The building dates to 1780 and was a haunt of American patriots and revolutionaries, including Washington. Now it`s getting a new lease on life with renovations and commercial space. Besides being a tavern and an inn, at one point, the building also served as a jazz club, Paul. KANGAS: I imagine that was a little after Washington, you saying (ph) around there.

O`BRYON: I think so, the lattes too.
