You'll have to report back with what you come up with!
I wish I could find the link to the derided story about the weird Ask-O-Thingy (you could put questions in, but only the one guy would answer them)... and the local reporter who wrote a piece on it without doing much in the way of due diligence (and hence missing all interesting stuff.)To her credit, she apologized instead of just vanishing with no response.
People here are pretty passionate (some would say obsessed or just plain crazy) about Davis Square, and I have two pieces of advice:
Don't make things up and don't be lazy. If you don't know, get out there and find out. There's more info out there than you can shake a stick at, and while a lot of it can be found just sitting at your desk, most of it, the good stuff, can only be unearthed by actually getting out and talking to people and visiting the places you're writing about.
