donut house progress

[lcmayer.livejournal.com]

Highland road and morrison ave - Looks like they've got the framing done for the first floor of whatever the former donut shop is being reincarnated as. Does anyone know about the company who is developing the property - are they a good company or is this going to be another "davis square condos" situation?

Re: No, it's Highland Road

Actually, the reason it is that way - with the additional green space between the sidewalk and the street, making it more desirable - is that originally, when the bike path was a railway, the train stop was where the donut shop used to be, and Highland between the bike path and Kidder was planned to be a park. (The whole College/Morrison/Broadway/Cedar neighborhood was planned.) Then they ended up deciding to build houses there after all, and so had more room. At least that is the story I was told, wish I could recall who told it!
