The new DD on West Boylston Street is across from the McDonald's and next to the Wendy's... making it a bafflingly re-configured fast food cluster.... the Burger King is a few doors back towards town, next to the Papa Gino's, ...which is next to the empty building that DD's used to be in.I wanted to get a picture because the building is a two story affair.
Do they have a bowling alley up there on the second floor?
I can just imagine the decision-making process... "We need a fresh building... Let's make it bigger... A Bistro on the second floor... with a bowling alley..."

Thank you! I had the same response: "What are they doing on the second floor?" It's a crazy looking building.
I also don't entirely get the move. I can only imagine they studied it first, but they sure did get walk-in traffic from QCC across the street. I doubt as many students are going to schlep up the side of Route 12.
I had heard that the DD regional offices will eventually be moved to that location, if they haven't done so already.
I fully expect that the former DD building will end up being bought by either Honey Dew or whoever owns all those DD-lookalikes around town (Boston Donuts, Go-Nuts For Donuts, and so on).
That's what I was thinking too. When you pull out of QCC there was Dunkins, staring you right in the face. Seemed like a strange move to me too. I am guessing however those Dunkin Donuts people know alot more about selling donuts than I do.
This move is almost as strange as the move Bay State Savings Bank made on Mill Street. They had a perfectly good building they were in, next to the car dealer. But they built a whole new place, pretty much exactly the same size, look and feel, at 247 Mill, right on the corner of First Street, and moved in there... abandoning the old building (which is still empty).
The two buildings sandwich the car dealer. It just makes no sense... (unless you consider the effects of devolution, and the long term effects of pollution on the brains of an entire civilization).
