Observed on Newbury Street between Berkeley and Clarendon in Back Bay, Boston:
There are already two Sweet cupcake stores in Back Bay, along with two ‘food’–that is, cupcakes–trucks that show up five days every week. Just in case you can’t make it three blocks without a fucking cupcake. Meanwhile, there is no bakery in Back Bay. For those of us who want to buy fresh bread. Hopelessly old school, I know.
For a Mad Biologist can not live by cupcakes alone. Or something.

Too funny, Mike! Totally right though. Strange there is no bakery in the back bay.

Panera on Boylston?

Heh. Like I said, no bakery….
It’s just plain wrong! We need an Iggy’s or a Lyndell’s. Heck, I’d settle for any old bakery. Even a bad one still smells great. If you decide to picket this odious joint, let me know.
Yes, because we should be upset that people are opening similars businesses…do we really need so many starbucks? Hey, if you want to get upset about something, forget the cupcakes, and how about we shove all those fucking homeless asking for change out of there too? They are much more annyoing than cupcakes, and not nearly as tasty.
If you know anything about business, you’d know that the high prices of Newbury rent would require what, $9 loaves of bread (as opposed to a 3.25$ cupcake) – then you’d be here like a whiney bitch talking about how expensive bread is in the back bay.
Take the T to Clear Flour, or cross town to the South End. Also Shaws does bake some breads fresh daily.
Biologist huh? Couldn’t hack the math for real science? Or did you just wash out of Tufts Med school and end up growing cultures for Stoney Hill yogurt?
Don’t your local bakeries distribute to the chain groceries? We have several small local bakeries that sell their bread through a local, but quite large, grocery chain. People aren’t going to drive across town to get a loaf of bread no matter how good it is.
