a small spotted cat?

heh.

I thought that too. :-) Osco could make that their mascot.

Hah! I never thought of that, but I think now it's gonna stick in my head :)

I don't have much call to refer to the lot, but I still refer to the store as Osco, despite the fact that I regarded the change of ownership with undiluted joy.

is it that different as a Brooks than it was as Osco?

By the way, the city has approved conversion of One Davis Square (the yellow building between Dover and Day streets) into a three-story building. The first floor will be a CVS, the second a Boston Sports Club gym, and I think offices on the new third floor.

That deserves a post of its own.

Maybe in another day or two. I feel like I've created more than my share of threads over the past two days.

Ron, do you know any more details? Converting that building to retail on the first floor with a gym above is a great idea. I wish we could get a good grocery instead of yet another CVS, but this is a step in the right direction. Maybe when CVS moves in, they'll keep the sidewalk a little cleaner and ice free.

I added a new top-level post on this subject, so further discussion should go there.

For a long time I referred to it as, "The pharmacy formerly known as Osco."

[heliopsis.livejournal.com]

Zipcar calls it the Brooks parking lot. I think of it as the end of the bike path.

Don't ever refer to the "lot", which is why I was confused about your survey. I refer to the store all the time though. I call it: "Osco, or Brooks, or whatever the hell it is now."
