Discovery Series Ornament – Austin

Posted on

With the overwhelming amount of releases from the latest collection of Starbucks mugs, it’s not easy to keep track of all of them. My pattern for adding them to the site is that I pick the unexpected ones first. Discovery Series Ornament – Austin is a good example since this city didn’t have an ornament before.

Austin, the capital of Texas, has a rich history that reflects its transformation from a frontier settlement to a vibrant cultural hub. Originally inhabited by Tonkawa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache tribes, the area was first settled by European Americans in the 1830s, when pioneers established the village of Waterloo along the Colorado River.… Read more

Discovery Series – Universal Studios Hollywood

Posted on

Discovery Series Universal Studios Hollywood is a full-sized mug for the previously reviewed ornament. Some of the elements found on both the mug and the ornament are King Kong, T-Rex, and the studio tour tram.

Universal Studios Hollywood traces its roots back to 1915 when Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Pictures, began offering studio tours to the public. What started as a small behind-the-scenes glimpse of moviemaking evolved into a full-fledged theme park. The iconic rotating globe, now a recognizable landmark at the park’s entrance, was introduced in the 1990s and has become a symbol of the studio’s cinematic heritage.… Read more

Discovery Series – Manhattan

Posted on

Discovery Series – Manhattan is probably the most colorful among “Boroughs of NYC” mugs. There are five in total, but it’s safe to say that some people mistakenly equate Manhattan with all of New York City. This is likely because Manhattan is the most well-known borough, home to iconic landmarks like Times Square, Central Park, and Wall Street. For many, especially tourists or those less familiar with NYC, Manhattan embodies the city’s global image.

The history of Manhattan goes back to 1624, when Dutch settlers established a trading post on the island, calling it New Amsterdam.… Read more
