Top 11Davis Square Confessions

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

It’s a slow, tiresome Monday, so as I approach my 9th year as a Davis Square resident I have some confessions. These are "confessions" because these things make me feel like the bitch I am! My list goes to 11.

Do you have any confessions? Perhaps later in the week I’ll feel perky and refreshed and post my top 11 loves -though it will be hard to think of only 11.

1. I’ve been secretly rooting for Kick Ass Cupcakes to fail, and I’m boggled that they still survive.
2. While I like McIntyre and Moore in theory, I never use them and won’t miss them.
3. I hate Mike’s, its terrible – even with the cheap beer, I don't get the popularity of this institution - I liked it better when they were crappier inside with the old signs.
4. Chipotle has won my burrito bowl dollars, I never would have seen that coming Anna’s! Anna Anna, please forgive me!
5. While I love Deisel, I’m going less and less now that the same 5 crazy people rotate ownership of the good chairs/couches and NEVER leave.
6. I don’t miss Someday Cafe, I liked it in theory, but it was a dirty filth hole.
7. I don’t miss the junkies in front of share group on Dover St (not that all of them were junkies), but I do miss the times they would interact with the Mormons.
8. I really don’t want to see Sacco’s close, but yet I never give them any business, and I was opposed to the Community Connections Center for no other reason than I thought it was a dumb name.
9. As fiercly opposed as I was to CVS opening, I now shop there all the time.
10. I want all bars except Joshua Tree to get a 2am permit!
11. Even though it’s a lame joke I still find it funny that Store 24 is not open 24 hours, and that Bread and Butter Konvience is, but has  a weird name.

Embarassed but agreed on point number 4, though I'd add Boloco to Chipotle, because I looove their Teriyaki burrito :)

I killed many sacred cows with my intense dislike of McIntyre and Moores, especially their bag-check policy. Good riddance!

However, I just love Mike's. Don't know why - no one else of my friends seems to. But I find it very homey and comforting. Besides, their mozzarella sticks are yummy.

I also like Mike's. So many other people here hate it, that this could also be considered a confession.

Hear, hear! Bag check is probably the #1, #2, and #3 reason I never became a Mac-and-Moore addict. I know that rationally it's no big deal but with each passing year I find big-check creeps me out more and more. It's the little things that count.

yea i like mike's too but i can easily see how others might not. i kind of revel in its crappiness, i suppose.

My biggest problem is that any hole-in-the-wall Italian joint should at least have a good red sauce, but theirs is bland.

Not that my like of Mac and Moore is any secret today, but I think the bag-check policy is one of the good things about them. I don't want to carry my stuff around while I'm browsing!

There's a difference between being *allowed* and being *required* to check it. I'm with nonnihil.

[cnoocy]

That's fair. I don't get bothered by it, but I see how others could.

yes! you are!
Sorry.

*lol* Yeah, I wondered if anyone would get that.
