"the first domino to fall" (anti-Roche Bros scare flyer)

[serious-noir.livejournal.com]

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?

Oh no! I hope the meeting delay was just due to a change in scheduling & nothing big. I really want Roche Bros to be able to move forward!

E-mail I got from Lori Massa at city hall: "The plans are not yet finalized and the parking study came to the office late last week. It should be going to the next on Oct 15. Hopefully the word gets out to those who are interested in attending."
