Is 'Beantown' OK if the place sells coffee?

Which is why it will suck. He took the space when the owner of Boston Brewin next door was going to get the space. The greedy owner said, "Hey why don't I do it myself!"

Boston Brewin on Bromfield is owned by a good guy (Tom) .

Stop in. Let him tell you the story.

If you really hate the people who live here so much, why are you here? New York isn't that far away.

I don't hate the people here.

But whenever someone attempts to discredit someone for "not being from New England" or use it in a negative way...I will always call out the hypocrisy.

people not from New England have done great things in Boston and will continue to do great things as we become a WORLD class city.

Let's hope this headline from today's Globe proves to be the exception:

also, blacklist the sign maker who printed this.

No one here calls it Beantown except a few newbies, but even most of them don't.
Franks and beans used to be a thing on Saturday night up to maybe the 60s or 70s but not any more.
99% of people who use the term Beantown don't live here.
Ziggys Coffee is based in Colorado.

I already dont like Ziggys coffee.

I allow the use of the world for Beantown Taqueria, so this should be acceptable.

I remember when the foolish Sarah Palin gave a speech on the Common a few years ago for God knows what reason. I saw it on the news. The first words out of her mouth were "hello Beantown!". It was ridiculous.

This place has been 'coming soon' for 2 years. I'm not holding my breath.

And also, NO on the "Beantown" address. Go away.

It's like "chowdah". It says something about you, and while that something is hardly on the top 100 list of crimes against humanity, it is off-putting. That said, I'd overlook it if the coffee were awesome, but it doesn't sound like it. And i'm really sorry that the little place around the corner got edged out. I didn't go there often because they didn't have a sit-down space, but they're very nice and have good coffee.
