D²: "Reincarnation" of Pluto

[m-b-w.livejournal.com]

Melissa, who many of you will remember from Pluto, is opening a store in what used to be the RJ Cody store - 409 Highland Avenue.  The name of it will be D², and it will be similar to the old Pluto that so many of us miss!

 

Unfortunately, the bad news mentioned in the comments to the previous post (http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square/852288.html) on this subject was true.  The JP Pluto store has closed.  One of the owners of Pluto was very ill, and he recently passed away.  

Melissa is a Davis Square resident who is very excited about being in business here again, especially in a neighborhood which is the new home of two other great stores, Comicazi and Magpie.   I’m really looking forward to the opening of  D² (probably June).  I think we have enough food and drink here (although I love the idea of Kick*ss Cupcakes down the road); it will be nice to have another place to buy fun gifts, etc.

Speaking of co-advertising, I imagine there are better ways of getting foot-traffic, but if I were opening a retail business in somerville, I'd figure out how to get in on the Brown School card action, because I know that I, at least, am totally more likely to go to a place listed there.
