Some notes from
Monday's Davis Square Task Force meeting:
( CARLI Fence site: 12 condos proposed .... )( Antonia's Restaurant and Ten Tables: Problems with liquor licensing ... )Former Enterprise rent-a-car: The owner, Christos Poutihidis, did not show up for the meeting. Somoene else said that the owner does not want to have another rental car operation, and instead wants to put up a building with commercial use of the first floor and residential use on the second (and possibly more). Mr. Poutihidis also owns the house next door on Cutter Avenue, so it's possible any future development would combine the two lots.
Sacco's Bowl-Haven: Trish Blain didn't have much to report yet. She thought she had a deal to buy Ideal Engine next door, but a member of that family killed the deal. Trish will present her proposal at
a public event at Dilboy VFW - Monday night, Feb. 25 at 7 pm.
Dollar Days: Blue Shirt Café is
not expanding into this space. Someone said he had heard of seven possible tenants looking at this storefront.
Dover Plaza: A publisher is moving into the space vacated by Share Group. Someone at the meeting said
Candlewood Candlewick Press, which is now located a short walk away on Mass. Ave. in North Cambridge.
Dahn Yoga studio: A women's fashion boutique called Suneri is moving into at least part of the space, according to a sign in the window. There is also still a For Rent sign, so it's possible the space is being subdivided.
Sushi restaurant in former La Contessa space: Should open at the end of February ("which may really mean mid-March"). The storefront renovation required more work than expected, including some environmental cleanup.
Next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Monday, April 14.
