Looks like the feud continues and has heated up a bit:

I predict detail cops will soon be a daily sight in the square. The next city fundraising effort will focus on tickets for blocking the sidewalk.

+1 here!

Also, Common Grounds in Watertown is eleven million different kinds of awesome.

I know and know of many people to whom Mr. Mirza has been kind and generous, but I have only ever experienced rudeness from him personally, which is not anything I enjoy in a restaurant experience. (And I'm a sweet-tempered middle-aged soccer-aunt type who is generally not the target of free-floating restaurateur hostility!)

Oh, Common Grounds is so great! Sweet potato pancakes, nom. If I could change one thing about them, it would be their table layout--when it's busy, I'm seated so close to my neighbors that I can tell which toothpaste they used that morning.
