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.

1. I still want to throw a brick through the window at Mr. Crepe, especially since they put up those stupid anthropomorphic-crepe line drawings. Or maybe I want to throw a brick at Gus's head. I'm starting to feel like one of those people who still wants to impeach Nixon even though he is dead. For what it's worth, I am a non-violent person. Should any of these bricks get thrown, please know that it wasn't me.

2. Ever since Joe has been Mayor, Art Beat has been politics-free, and that kills my buzz, as does the fact that Snappy Dance Troupe is too big to perform there anymore. Their performance at the Somerville Theater used to be my favorite part. Now I have to be content with learning to stilt-walk from Peter Jehlen, which is still pretty good.

3. I pretty much don't spend time in Davis anymore, because there are so few places that I want to go, and what is there isn't worth the trip. This is sad. 10 years ago it was my home.

My only problem with Mr. Crepe aka Mr. Pankake is that they are overpriced. I mean come nutella and a banana on a crepe shouldn't be that expensive.

I have festival envy with Union Square, because the Fluff Festival looks way more fun than anything davis puts on.
