Newton Centre

Something you'd never see Dunkin' Donuts drinkers do

Petition to try to convince Starbucks to close the Starbucks on Centre Street in Newton Center instead of the one in the Union Street train station:

Mr. Shultz, please be advised that I will NEVER spend a dollar at the Center Street location, nor any other Starbucks for that matter. There is a Peets Coffee and Tea location in Newton Center as well, and they will be getting my daily business going forward if you proceed with this closing. ...

Via The Missus, who writes people go to Starbucks for the ambiance, not the awful coffee and stale pastry.

What passes for coordination at the MBTA

The MBTA says it has to shut Langley Road in Newton Centre for six months to repair a bridge over the Riverside Line - and will likely have to shut Riverside service for five weekends as part of the work (so get ready for buses, folks).

Greg Reibman is all for repairing decaying bridges, but he wonders why the T couldn't have coordinated the work with this past summer's Riverside shutdown.
