Sauce is toast...

Well no, it's not toast exactly - it's just out of business.

Old news? I walked by this morning and the windows were papered over. There is a note on the door saying something about "circumstances beyond our control" etc. and that a new resturant will open in that location April 1st. I never actually went there. It seemed a bit "too cool mall style" for my tastes but it's better than another bank.

Seems like there are a lot of street level vacancies in the Sq. these days. Rents too high? Not enough traffic for more food/coffee places? Or parking for serious retail?

Be nice if a good gallery opened but the chances of that are probably slim to none.

I'd rather have a gallery than a another snooty, overpriced yuppie restaurant/bar. I might not be able to afford what's in a gallery but at least looking is free, providing a tangible benefit for the arts-loving-no-money-having peeps.

Actually.... Davis Square already has an art gallery :) !

It is just a bit tucked away between O'naturals and Subway.

Even still, I'd rather have ANOTHER art gallery rather than another short-lived, overpriced, yuppie restaurant that's just going to flop in under a year anyway.

But thanks for the heads-up! :)

..no idea why I thought that. Did I dream it? Was that part of the Sauce plan?
