I miss that all night eatery that was where Out of the Blue was before OotB moved.
Mmmm...Dolly's.

I really liked the used bookstore that was out towards the parking office, so I miss that.
I was just thinking of Zembla's the other day. It was one of the best used bookstores for poetry ever. I think I spent most of time by Deborah Digges', I think, used poetry books. I think I went there every Sat and bought about ten dollars worth of books.

I lived on Dover St from 1994-2001. From 1992-1994 and 2001-2004, I lived not far away in Porter. Since then I moved to NM, and life has never been the same. I think the best years in Davis (for me) were 1993-1996. I preferred the Somerville Theater as one large hall -- people danced up and down the aisle during "Muriel's Wedding." You'd see people wander around the square drinking coffee from Someday's glasses, because there wasn't enough place to sit. Steve's was still open in 1993, I believe. The armenian pizza place was still open on Mass Ave and Dover.
