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.

Yeah, that's very cool place, esp. with the demise of Wordsworth's. (It's also much more convenient than going to crazy, hectic Harvard Square.) I do miss being able to walk there. That parking lot is really terrible and often puts me off from driving there, which is a shame because the book store and the Ace are cool stores.
