There are roughly 11,000 Starbucks locations in the United States, and about 14,000 McDonald's restaurants. But
combined, the two chains don't come close to the number of museums in the
U.S., which stands at a whopping 35,000.
Via Instapundit, There are more museums in the U.S. than
there are Starbucks and McDonalds – combined - The Washington
Post
As weird as it may seem, it does appear to be true. Even lowly Brevard, NC, which
has one (1) McDonalds and one (1) Starbucks, has three (count them,
three) museums:
- The Silvermont
Mansion
- The
Transylvania Heritage Museum
- The Allison-Deaver
House
Heck, even Lincoln County, Nevada, (home to the Little A'Le'Inn) a county with a
population less than Brevard, has two museums:
- Railroad Depot & Boxcar
Museum
- Lincoln County
Museum
So yes, I can believe that there are more museums in the US than McDonalds and Starbucks combined.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
