> "Why can't we have a grocery store there?" Well, maybe because nobody's trying to open one. Sure, but if somebody's looking to open a grocery store somewhere in the area and is doing some research, it might be helpful for them to hear that lots of people in a particular community are grousing about not having one. Not that that should be the sole decision-making factor, but it's certainly relevant.
Anyway, it's fun! Every so often my friends and I do the "What would be Your Perfect Davis Square" -- all our favorite kinds of stores & restaurants we'd want if we could design it ourselves, so that we'd never have to leave again. Mine would have a hardware store and a few more used/independant bookstores, among other things (which wouldn't hurt M&M, when you have enough bookstores in the same area, it becomes a book-shopping destination). And maybe also a paint-your-own-pottery place! And a Trader Joe's! :-P
