The Blairsville Starbucks location is closing today as part of the shutdown of 250 stores across the nation. Starbucks COO Mike Grams announced the closures yesterday, but the company did not provide a list of specific locations.

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Dana Siler, Cynthia Kirsch and Rob Kahn: Pittsburgh faces a climate and power challenge. Clean energy can help.
Across Southwestern Pennsylvania, summer weather has hit with a force our region’s aging infrastructure was never built to handle. In recent years, downpours have turned neighborhood streets into torrents, overwhelmed storm basins and triggered destructive hillside landslides that rip out municipal roadways and threaten homes.
