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.

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 inside BMC.

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.

After the Revere Tornado: "Not sure if it came from this one here, or the one across the street."
