The Alewife newspaper online reports that the Bread & Butter Konvenience [sic] store, at Mass. Ave. and Day Street, is for sale. Whether it would remain such a store after being sold, I don't know.

I visit the store occasionally, but find it much less well-stocked than the White Hen Pantry that preceded it. So if it goes away in its current form, I won't consider it a huge loss.

I will. What else in the area is open 24 hours? Sometimes, at 3 AM, you just need ice cream.

I also like the guy who is usually around in the mornings, who keeps a binder on his "Thoughts of the Day." They aren't exactly Pulitzer Prize-winning material, but they are usually optimistic, and he is a lovely little slice of humanity in the most random spot. I haven't seen him much lately, but he always brightens my day.

At 3 AM, I don't really want to hike to Porter for a single pint of ice cream. It kind of defeats the purpose of the late night snack. Why burn off all those calories when I want them to go directly to my thighs?

But I hear you, they could indeed be better stocked; I just want my konvenience stores within a 5-minute walk is all. It's convenient. :)

I would consider a huge gain if something replaced it which had its name properly spelled.

Ah, it's been renamed Komrad's by me and my friends. Which then degraded to the People's Glorious Food Redistribution Center... So yeah. We get amused very easily.

Do you know, I wish I'd thought of calling it that ages ago. The kutesy misspelling burns my ass.
