Man, every time I walk past that, I laugh and laugh. Who thought that was a good idea? It evinces a failure of thought in like three different axes at once. I am totally not shocked that it's not selling. This isn't downtown Boston, or even Central Square. Maybe if the housing bubble had kept going for another ten years and the rest of Teele Square had gotten converted to high-rises.

In random other news, I went to Joey's Thai restaurant down by the Subway, where Benjapon used to be, and I am happy to report that the food is pretty decent, fairly inexpensive, and the atmosphere and service is delightfully cheery. Yay!

I don't care so much about this restaurant versus that restaurant, but allow me again to register my dismay at how nightclubby Elm St. between Davis and Cutter Ave feels at night. Remember when the Aquarium got kicked out? Those were the days.
