Face it: even if you aren't a loyal Starbucks-only customer, you have a favorite location; that one Starbucks that's easy-in and easy-out, knows your drink and is just the most convenient.

In light of today's news that Starbucks will close an additional 500 U.S. stores and cut 7% of its work force, I couldn't help but wonder if any Milwaukee-area stores will be on the list. Earlier this year, they announced that 100 other stores also are slated to close.

So, with 600 Starbucks preparing to close will your favorite location survive? Which ones should go? Which ones should stay?
