Pete and Joy's Bakery closing. Tells you how bad the economy really is.

And I betcha this won't be the only business downtown shuttering its doors this year or next.

The Big Dig events are not likely going to generate downtown sales either. Folks will come to the free events, do their grocery shopping and go home. There were far better ideas to drive sales in downtown during the construction.  They asked the wrong peoples advice.

Anybody that agrees with the proposed taxpayer funded golf course new event center is off their rocker.  It's cheap golf for the rich, more corporate taxpayer funded welfare for the elites. The course is outdated and the middle class can't afford to golf or doesn't want to.

My 3 cents. But what do I know?
