Top 11Davis Square Confessions
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.

1. I liked the Goodwill better when it was disorganized. It was way more fun.
2. It's nice that the liquor store is open til 11pm…“Yes, even Sundays!"
3. I love McKinnons and don't shop there nearly enough. If Julie's had someplace to store meat while I got my pedicures, I probably would (because McKinnons seems to always be closed after my pedicure.
4. After all these years, you'd think Porter Square Veterinary would bite the bullet and change its name to Davis Square Veterinary.
5. I want to kick the people waiting for the bus outside Dunkin Donuts/Social Security every time I have to get past them on the sidewalk.
6. The new CVS is seriously the nicest CVS I've ever been in. I got a prescription filled there, and they sent me a thank you note.
7. I would rather have that Indian grocery back than that stupid “cat litter box“ Diva plastic-bubble bar. Seriously, does anyone ever go in there?
8. Dear Somerville Theatre: We like air conditioning in the summer, but when we have to bring a heavy coat to the movies in July…not so much.
9. I am happy Mr. Crepe is back. But I miss the foil sculpture exhibit.
10. Since 2000, ArtBeat seams to be less fun and more commercial and eventastic. 2002 was probably the best one ever.
11. I know we have a glut of burritos on the Square…but I still wish Picante was still here. I'd take them over Anna's, Chipotle and (gasp!) Boloco. Picante was the best, and Central Square is so far away...
And two of the OP's are mine as well, so I won't number them:
A. While I like McIntyre and Moore in theory, I never use them and won’t miss them.
B. I don’t miss Someday Cafe, I liked it in theory, but it was a dirty filth hole.

Each has its place (or many places in the case of Davis), but they are not equivalent.

the conversation which has been repeated in various forms at different times
"Sure. Where's he go?"
"He goes to Porter Square Vet on Summer Street."
"Isn't there a closer place, like a vet's office right in Davis near Domino's?"
"Yeah, that is Porter Square Vet."
"But..."
"Yeah."

The servers were very confused as to what the menu actually was; they handed us a 'tapas' menu but said we couldn't order from it, but then changed their minds. We tried ordering from the main Diva menu, but then they said we couldn't. We eventually gave up, walked into Diva proper, and had an okay meal.
Yeah, Diva Lounge is a fucked up place.
