Local Adventurer Goes to Starbucks in Farragut

Local Adventurer Goes to Starbucks in Farrgut North.jpgWASHINGTON - Citing his love of the Indiana Jones and National Treasure franchises, local adventurer and explorer extraordinaire Blaine Harwheat has recently opted to start going to the as-yet-uncharted Starbucks in the outskirts of Farragut.

Citing his lifelong need to explore as reason enough to make such a drastic life change, Harwheat has begun the arduous process of sharing photos of the new location on his Instagram. Harwheat’s coworkers and family have been unanimously stunned by the brave man’s willingness to venture into the absolute unknown.

“I always knew he was a different cut of a man,” began Jessica Mulwhey, Harwheat’s girlfriend of two years. “A cut above the rest. So when he tells me he’s going off into the unknown to discover what lies behind this apartment block… well, you can’t cage a man like my Blaine, no matter how much I may fear for his safety.”

Harwheat’s apartment is littered from artifacts from his various adventures, including a snow globe from the Lincoln memorial, the wrapper of a hot dog from a 7-11 nearly five blocks away, and, perhaps the crown jewel of the collection, a t-shirt, bearing the phrase “I went to Philadelphia and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” Harwheat chose not to comment on the adventure into the great North Yonder, calling it “a young mistake, best to just forget about it.”

Like ol’ Indy himself, Harwheat has his fair share of detractors. The barista in his new favorite temple of coffee is one such antagonist.

“What, the dude who comes in here with a bullwhip? The hell is his problem? It’s a Starbucks. I mean Christ, I am not paid enough to put up with his shit.”

Still, Harwheat will not be brought down by these opponents. He has recently unveiled his latest plan, to steal a waffle from the Red Roof Motel’s continental breakfast buffet, defiantly screaming that “it belongs in a museum[!]”. Only time will tell if the adventurer gets his way.

Harwheat has since apparently been repeatedly and brutally mugged, claiming his nameless attackers were “all connected to the Nazis… probably after the waffle.”
