    There were a lot of Allams in Cali in those days in prominent roles.
    They liked to shorten names for global marketing reasons.

    They didn't shorten it though. They took their name from Beverly in Massachusetts.

    Aha - but they'd stopped off in Boston en-route to Cali and greased a few palms using their inscrutable smiles and a nod nod, wink wink.

    I'm not a coffee drinker so have never been into a Starbucks. Is it really junk ? It seems highly popular over here in Toronto, and from what I hear quite expensive.
