While at Fort Leonard Wood recently, I popped into what us FLW veterans call "the old PX". Inside I found a new Starbucks complete with nice lounge and seating area, made just for the type atmosphere one perhaps is seeking when they visit the popular coffee establishment. Well decorated, quiet, and complete with some interesting artwork—hardly what one would expect to find on a military installation. But, that's what us oldies think. Those younger expect these type facilities, and that's just fine. Only bad thing is that when I was on active duty, we had nothing at all to compare with what's available today. And...that's a good thing. The latte grande I got was pretty good by the way. Perked up my late afternoon.
