I miss Disc Diggers, but stopped going there when they stopped selling LP's back in the early 90's. I miss the original Someday Cafe when it was just one little storefront right next to the cinema entrance (and I remember paying $2.50 for a movie back before the theater had 5 screens and was not renovated, and even less than that as a kid).
Some real old school stuff: Pine Tree Diner, Somerville Books & Records, Kay & Chips, Zembla Books (when it was where JP Licks is, then moved up Holland), the little Antique store where Antonia's is, Apple-A-Day (where Dunkin Donuts is today), Friscati's restaurant (the whole block where Anna's Taqueria is), the Venice restaurant (where Orleans is). Gorin's Department Store, the Blarney bar. Or how about when the train tracks went through the center of the square. Man, now we are talking 1977 or 87.
I think that the vibe in Davis changed permanently in the mid-90's and hasn't changed much since then. Places come and go, some loved, some not, but overall it seems fairly consistent. My Davis is not your Davis is not my kids Davis is not my father's Davis. But it is all of ours, too.
