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.

I agree. Hell, when I was in Atlanta in '92 working on a presidential campaign, I bought one of those little pecan pies from one of the Farrakan brothers who was selling them and copies of their paper which was chock full of 'kill honky motherfucker' stories. Threw his racist ass for a loop to have a white boy buying one of his pies. Gotta say, it was a damn tasty bit of pie too and in a way it's a shame they're not up here in Boston. ;)
