I just came back from Someday, and confirmed the bad news. The café has not renewed its lease with the landlord (Chatham Light Realty), and the café's owner (Gus Rancatore, of Toscanini's ice cream) is disinclined to reopen it elsewhere in Davis Square. Unless someone changes his mind, the café must vacate by August 15, and most likely will close around August 1.

If you don't want this to happen, call Richard at Chatham Light, 617-354-4466 , and e-mail gus@tosci.com .

(for earlier discussion, see the post immediately below this one.)

[EDIT (6/27, 12:10 am): after exchanging e-mail and a phone call with Ian Judge, the manager of the Somerville Theatre, I have edited this post so that it no longer says that "the landlord is making them leave". Ian's statement is here. I'm going to leave the phone number and e-mail address in place; they came from a sign at the Someday's counter last night.]

Wow. I'm sure that they did say that to you, and probably felt that was the case..but that is still pretty funny to me.

I've been there god only knows how many times with gay and straight friends and never experienced anything like that. Perhaps it did happen to them but its certianly not something I've ever witnessed.

I'm going to laugh over straight-discrimination/non-preferential treatment all day though. Thanks for the laugh!

Ah, but just because you might see a bear in the woods and it's not shitting doesn't mean that bears don't shit in the woods. ;)

In any case, glad to provide you with a laugh.
