something Davis Sq probably doesn't need

Someone wants to open a Quizno's sub shop franchise at 401 Highland Avenue, where Disc Diggers used to be. The proposal keeps getting postponed from one Planning Board meeting to the next; it supposedly comes up again at this Thursday night's meeting.

While I can't see a real basis for showing up to oppose it, I also don't see it filling any real need, given that you can already get sandwiches of various kinds at Au Bon Pain, Blue Shirt, Mike's, Diesel, Christo's Seven Star, Subway, O'Natural's, and probably other places I've forgotten about.

a small, funky art/craft supply store might be a nice addition to the area.

you mean like Spark Crafts, which has been open for almost a year now?

Huh. I'd heard of it, but thought it was just a workshop space, not a retail shop. (And I remember being annoyed at the anti-kid attitude, too, so I didn't do anymore research into what they offered or where they were.) I'll have to wander back there next time I'm in the square. Thanks!
