"the first domino to fall" (anti-Roche Bros scare flyer)
I noticed while out walking that all the cars on Hawthorne St. just outside the Sq had anti-Roche Bros flyers stuck on their windshields.
I like the part about if you are "against turning Davis Square corporate" and the bit about the "first domino." Since we already have a Domino's (and a Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Au Bon Pain and some other national chains I am forgetting right now), I'm not sure what they mean aside from some cliched scare nonsense. Roche Bros is a locally owned chain of supermarkets and I think they would be an asset here.
The flyer is unsigned. From one of the merchants mentioned? Is there much opposition to Roche Bros coming in?

no subject
It seems to me that they are targeting the whole foods & tj's crowd & will sell other things like paper goods (tp, paper towel, dog food, etc) than what Pemberton & Dave's sell. The owner said they take into account the area & the specialities of their neighborhood & that they chose to not compete w./ those specialities. So, they most likely will not sell homemade pasta or pasta dishes.
