something Davis Sq probably doesn't need

[ron_newman]

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.

Mmmm. Fair enough. But the implication I saw behind ...a chik-filet? the christians would love that :) closed every sunday by god's law was that there was somehow something wrong with this. (Indeed, especially when prefaced by calling this "something you'd really oppose".)

Yeah, that was the possibly snarky comment I was referring to, to which the above rant was *not* directed. Sometimes knees jerk so hard, I'm surprised people don't break their noses. :)

Heck, I'd actively campaign to bring Country Life to Davis if I thought they'd actually come, and they're religious as all get out (Seventh Day Adventist). But who cares? The food was amazing and the only bad thing about the god part was that they were closed Friday night to Saturday. As far as I was concerned, they ought to have been open 24/7!
