Ok, so if one compares the proposed World of Beer, which I am against, with another beer-centric place, with a HUGE bar, like Mead Hall in Cambridge (which my husband and I love), you can see that it's not just the idea of a place that serves beer that bothers me. It's the idea of a place serving cheap food (wings, fries) washed down with beer. Doesn't sound to me like that would attract the diverse groups of people that live in the Davis Square area. It's geared mainly towards college students. They already have enough suitable places in Davis. Or am I wrong?
Would love to see a variety of places go into that space (or part of it). A tea parlor, serving excellent bakery items, a first-rate restaurant along the lines of Eastern Standard, Hammersely Bistro, Craigie, etc.), a produce/local meats store, a shoe store (The Tannery??).
I guess only chains and bars that sell a large amount of alcohol can afford the sky-high rents in Davis.
