I don't trust when stores are open that late; it's a transparent ploy to draw in young people.

I think this is the 10th annual event.

Well I think that this attempt to institutionalize it and draw in young people is disgusting and it’s time for it to end. If you invite that element into the square, the next thing you know they’ll be wanting to drink and have hamburgers and loud music and then BOOM Davis Square is a fucking trash fire.
