Well, she's not forcing him out or anything. It seems he chose to sell to her because she's trying hard to be sensitive to the desires of the community, and might keep some of the bowling lanes... I do know what you mean, but it seems like it's his own decision.

IAWTC. It seems like just bowling isn't enough to support that space, and I'd rather see it go to use as a community center of sorts instead of more retail, office space, or a gussied-up bowling alley with $10 cocktails, a la Kings (not that this was ever on the table).

I DO, however, agree that it's a shame that places like Sacco's are dying out. :(

Oh, no, I wasn't implying that. I meant I wish that Joe could find a way to make Sacco's Bowl Haven work, financially, AND that the organization-formerly-known-as-the-Connections-Center would also find a home in Davis Square.

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah...
