Burbank's 'Bobbucks' Starbucks to close after 30 years amid broader corporate cuts

A historic Starbucks location in Burbank, California, known locally as 'Bobbucks' for its proximity to Bob’s Big Boy, will close on September 26 after nearly three decades of operation. The closure coincides with a broader corporate initiative to shutter 250 underperforming stores across North America, though it remains unclear if this specific location is part of that financial restructuring or a separate decision.

AI-Powered Life-Sim Burbank Debuts as Midsummer Studio Closes

Veteran designer Jake Solomon shared early footage of Burbank, his AI-driven life-sim project, while revealing that his studio Midsummer Studios is closing and may never release the game. Described as a blend of Life Sim and The Truman Show, Burbank would let players craft their own TV show within the game, with AI handling memory, reasoning, and speech for characters—though Solomon stressed AI would not replace developers. Midsummer had raised over $6 million, but the studio is shutting down without releasing a title.
