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: 2008-04-15 12:16 am (UTC)Not exactly sure what group you're referring to, but I'm part of the alumni group that runs www.lsuboston.com. (I mean, I don't run anything but I attend many events...) Are they one and the same? We watch football games at the Baseball Tavern behind Fenway. COME TO THE CRAWFISH BOIL!

Date: 2008-04-15 12:29 am (UTC)That's the group I mean! I just discovered it RIGHT after the championship game. I'm not a real alum (I went to school up here), but grew up about a mile from campus, and bleed purple and gold. Would they still accept me? When is the crawfish boil?? Oh and I am SO coming to a game a the Baseball Tavern this season!

Date: 2008-04-15 12:40 am (UTC)The crawfish boil is a week from Saturday. There's payment info on their website... Come wearing purple and gold, and we'll keep you! :)
There's usually a good turnout for the football games. Sometimes, other SEC alums/fans will watch games with us too!
