2. Reader Comment of the Day: "I guess us residents in Wilmington don't have enough places to get a coffee or a donut/pastry. Like Heavenly Donuts, Donna's Donuts/or our Border, the new HoneyDew's, the six (6) Dunkin Donuts', the current Starbucks, Panera Bread, As good as it gets, Sunnyside Cafe and the others local small businesses that offer it. Maybe we should bring a Tim Horton's, IHOP and Krispy Kreme to Wilmington so we don't run short on Coffee!" reader William Sacco commenting on the article, Why Are There So Few Starbucks in Wilmington?
