Do we really need more burrito's and taco's? Couldn't something more fun and maybe useful have bought that space?
now I wont be able to get last minute halloween stuff....

In this case, I think people were glad to just have the space filled already. The space had been empty for at least two years, maybe even three, not counting the couple of Octobers that Halloween Scream occupied it.

Plus, this chain is new to the Boston area (unlike Quiznos, for instance).

Quizno's is fairly recent. It's only been within the last 2 or so years they've come to Boston. I was pretty psyched because I had eaten at them while out on the road and they are really damn tasty- far better IMHO than Subway- but there were none to be had once I got back home.

As for Chipotle, I like them. Not as much as I like Anna's, but better than Qdoba. Still, though, I see the point about "chain creep"- especially after what's happened in Harvard Sq.

Nah, quiznos has been in the greater boston area since at least 2000, when my now ex wife worked at the mall in Burlington.

Really? I did not know there was one up there. I know the Boston ones opened about 2 years ago- the one near Downtown Crossing, and then the one out at Coolidge Corner. At least I think it was about 2 years ago.

Damn, now I am craving a Quizno's sub....

there's a Quiznos in Arlington Center, across from Town Hall. A pleasant bike ride on a nice day.

Excellent. I might just have to do that- movie and a Quizno's sub.

As long as you realize that the Quizno's is not within walking distance of the Capitol theatre. It's a good mile away.

Well, I would have my bike. And even walking, a mile is nothing.

Walking Distance

[avjudge]

You spend too much time on your bike! :-) For my husband & me, Davis Square is easy "walking distance" from home - a flat mile and an eighth or a quarter. We moved to our house because it's walking distance to my husband's work in Kendall Square - 2 miles. (OK, he walks that one, I don't. But then there's a HILL to go over! And I *do* walk if I'm going to Harvard Square, which is just a hair shorter than to Kendall, and over the same ridge.)

there were 2 quiznos that I know of in the south shore around 2000 or so.
