davis_squareIt’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.

Date: 2008-04-14 09:13 pm (UTC)1) I am also secretly rooting for Kickass to fail. We had a potluck at our apartment a few months ago. Someone brought an assortment of WeakAss cupcakes, and somebody else brought a cupcake roughly the size of Guatemala from Lyndell's. The Lyndell's giant disappeared in minutes, and the dry, dry cupcakes from KA lingered.
2) Ditto
3) What's wrong with Mike's? I think it's perfect, provided you like mediocre Italian food and counter help that talks to everybody like 5-year olds.
4) Heresy!
5) See my comments above. To their credit, I have never gotten rude, haughty, or unpleasant service there, which seems like an anomaly for a place like that.
6) Actually never went before it was Mr. Crepe.
7) ...must have been before my time.
8) I love Sacco's, even their lanes are slightly warped and you have to bowl with super-human strength to get the damn ball to go straight. I'm going to be bowling there a lot more when the semester is over. The news that they wouldn't be turning into the "Triple C" made my day last month.
9) They have better beverage selection than Rite-Aid.
10) No particular feeling here.
11) Agreed.
