Another strike for the Someday?

[cthulhia]

By noon today the repainted bathroom walls already had graffiti elaborating on how much the owners much suck for this crappy "upgrade" of the decor. And the barristo (male barrista?) was helping patrons add to a petition to bring back the things that are why Someday got its "Best of Boston" rating: games, bookswap shelf, inviting seating. The other customer also misses the big, black, fuzzy, dogbed-like reading divan.

A significant amount of the comfortable chairs are gone, replaced by the evil stools everyone regards as tables.

There are probably some bottom line issues here, encouraging people not to linger, which, alas, is the point of going to any cafe other than dunkin donuts. (I made a point of buying a coffee at the Someday today, instead of tea. Not noticably better brewed than Diesel to me.) The price of Davis gentrification? I thought the Tosci's people had more of a clue than that.

If Someday goes away, then Diesel loses its primary competition. Everything degrades. If they don't respond to customer complaints about this, it could be the beginning of an end.

(And if they do respond favorably, we should probably organize a regular LJ meet-up there, to show our gratitude, since they are the Cafe with an LJ and all.)
