Mike's Restaurant makeover - Globe Calendar article

[ron_newman]

In case people didn't see it in last Thursday's Globe Calendar: Cheap Eats: A Makeover for Mike's

What in the world happened to Mike's?

The orange Formica booths and plastic swivel seats are gone, replaced by attractive tables and chairs. The 1970s decor has been swapped for plasma televisions and trendy fold-out windows. A classy granite bar serves wine and margaritas.

It's true: After 28 years of slinging pizzas, pastas, subs, and calzones, this granddaddy of Davis Square has given itself a facelift.

The Middlesex Federal Savings scrolling sign got a mention in Sidekick a few days ago, too.

does anyone know a good place to get a hole fixed in a wool sweater? i just discovered mine has a wee hole in the front. if it unravels any more you'll be able to see the color of my bra. >.< i think it can be sewn up (re-knit?), but i have no idea where to take it, and since i don't knit, i'm afraid to do it myself. help?

Baby sitters around Davis?

I am looking for a baby sitter for my 2 month old baby. Can anyone recommend someone experienced and reliable?

Pandemonium: edited to please the populace

Pandemonium is a niche book store in Central Square in need of support because they're going through financially tough times. The whole story can be read here if you'd like.

This is relevant to Davis in that supporting local businesses seems to be something the Davis Square LJ community as a whole supports, and I think 3 T stops out counts as pretty local, and I know of at least a few people in the Davis area who care very much about this store.

If there are another few comments that this post sucks/isn't relevant/isn't informative enough, I'll go ahead and remove it. No need to be condescending or angry about it.
