Another Boston unit of measurement

Besides the Smoot, that is. Today I discovered that Boston Medical Center is two Dunkin' Donuts down Mass. Ave. from the Orange Line stop - although as Jay Fallon notes:
But only on one side of the street which is unacceptable.

Not a consistent unit
I do not believe that the span of one Dunk can be used to measure distances, because it is not a uniform distance, like a Smoot. I would be interested in a discussion of how a Dunk compares to a Starbuck, which is another variable span. Both of them vary with region, among other factors.
3, if you count the one
3, if you count the one inside BMC.
3 DD's is like 100 feet, if you're down-town
There are places on Franklin St, Congress, State, etc., where you can just about see 2 or 3 DD's and 2 or 3 Starbucks from any given vantage point.
The most Massachusetts comment ever
After the Revere Tornado: "Not sure if it came from this one here, or the one across the street."
