Sacco's

Ron,

Do you have any advance knowledge of the Bowl Haven matter?

Re: Sacco's

[ron_newman]

No. I've written back to Rebekah and to Chris Daveta asking for more information. I sure hope Sacco's is staying around.

Yes, I hope so too. It's one of the most beloved links between "Old Davis" and "New Davis."

(Even though I'm the crappiest bowler in Somerville.)

Wait, I thought I was the crappiest bowler in Somerville!

I heard that it is for sale, but no takers because they want a few million for it...

Re: Sacco's

[ron_newman]

I just heard back from Rebekah Gewirtz. She says: "He wants to address the task force about possibly adding food and alcohol service to enhance his business -- and possible renovations to accomodate this."

I'll be very happy to support this, and hope everyone else will, too.

That would be great, as quaint as the DIY-friendly microwave has been.

That would be awesome!

I spend a lot of time at Sacco's and I'd love for them to have more ways of making money...
