I'd assume this is a Starbucks that any one can walk into and pay cash for a cup of coffee. If that's the case, then could we say that Downtown Jacksonville does have a Starbucks?

If so, then it would fall in line with a long going theme of how important outdoor signage is for businesses open to the public that happen to be located in larger buildings like hospitals and office buildings.

Yes, anyone with a Tubman can get a Starbucks at the Baptist Medical Center location.  But, why would you want to subject yourself to whatever diseases are floating around and the chore of finding parking in one of the garages - which aren't all that close to the main entrance.

That may get a bit easier when these spaces open. Given that there is probably more traffic and density at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Prudential Drive than anywhere else in DT Jax, I would not be surprised to see these spaces fill up pretty quick. It's actually pretty easy to park in the new garage on Palm Avenue and reach this spot.
