Dead Cell Area Downtown

No connection to Verizon network in midtown area

I use the Verizon network and have a connection problem in the afternoon when I’m around the Starbucks area. I make perfect calls from this area in the morning, but cannot connect in the afternoon (phone is fully charged). If I go over to the Albertson parking lot... I connect. If I go in the opposite direction, I don’t connect until roughly 10th street. Today I watched as a patron went outside to use her cell phone and immediately came back inside to switch phones with her girlfriend. I asked her what provider she was using, and she said both phones use Verizon. No connection with her phone, perfect connection with her friend’s. Anyone knowledgeable about what is going on here?
