Can coffee drinkers predict the outcome of the 2012 presidential race? 7-Eleven is continuing its tradition of printing coffee cups bearing the names of the U.S. presidential candidates.

This year's "7-Election" process began Sept. 6 and runs until Election Day.

New store offers fresh-roasted beans for coffee enthusiasts.
There’s a new coffee place in town, with an emphasis on roasting coffee beans. Fresh Roast Coffee & Tea opened on Nov. 3 in the Creekside Commons shopping center. For owner Thomas Wilkiel, the store’s opening is the culmination of nine months of looking for a suitable location. “I have lived in Arlington Heights and now live in Hawthorn Woods,” he said. “I picked this location because the shopping center is so busy, and it’s close to my house.” A lifelong coffee fan, Wilkiel has an eclectic background.
