But the poster was quoting, and gave a reference to the quote.
He _didn't_ claim it was true. However, we forgive you since you
displayed the Grand Hailing Signal of Extreme Pedanticism in
your message.

As for coffee in Minneapolis, I've seen CFON someplace or other
in the last few years, but I recommend a trip to Dunn Brothers.
It doesn't have the mystical cachet, but it is roughly a hundred
times better, in my opinion. The Fridley store has the best beans,
though most any one (except the airport) will have something a
lot better than Charbucks. Again, in my opinion. (The airport is
the only location that doesn't roast. Apparently the Metropolitan
Airports Commission is concerned that with hundreds of thousands
of gallons of jet fuel being pushed around by hundreds of big
blowtorches, the addition of a coffee roaster will create a
big ol' safety hazard.)
