D² on Highland Ave

This store is awesome. I'm very happy with the quality of merchandise and I wish them much success in Davis Square.
I bought some amazing jewelry, a Davis Square shirt, a box of almond soaps, a "Lucky Pennies" sign for my back entry and a few other things.

Just like any new business, it takes time to work out the kinks, house a good inventory and find a balance of creating the vision that is in harmony and compatible with the neighborhood and the market. And so far, they're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to popping in on a regular basis. They are friendly and helpful, and I'm going back!

And even if you're not in the market for buying something, you have to check out the switch plate on the wall to the left as you come in the door. It's the coolest copper design. It's official, I'm in love.

Comments

So let me get this straight.....there are comments on this site all the time telling us that this business or that business is good or bad. In the last few days there were testimonials about Taipei Tokyo and Al Fresca, to name a few, in fact, I've seen other comments about D2. So is it OK to post these types of comments as long as you are a 'long time' member of this community? If so, what is the appropriate length of time as a member before you can post about a new business? Have these rules been documented somewhere so that unsuspecting newcomers will know what they are?
Since the owner of D2 is a friend of a friend, I'm pretty sure that the 'offender' is not connected to the store. I also cannot believe the amount of cynicism, paranoia, and parochialism on this site. I would have thought that the people who post here were much more inclusive and welcoming........give me a townie any day, I guess!!

Great post, tt.

Knocked out!

You should have seen the beatdown thrown on the poor slob who wanted to open a haircutting place for guys called Knockouts. (http://www.knockouts.net/) To say it was of biblical proportions would not be an overstatement.

I thought it was a pretty cool idea, but I think I got outvoted.

Yeah, but the Knockouts guy deserved it for not doing any market research whatsoever before posting here. Luscious and D² are both good citizens of Davis Square and shouldn't have been treated so shabbily.

I was pleased to see D2 move in -- it's sort of a reincarnation of Pluto. I wonder though, whether D2 is going to carry the political t-shirts that Pluto used to carry.
