Menino on DTX: Burritos, not Buicks

By neilv - 3/5/09 - 8:40 am

By way of starting a new Downtown Crossing thread on UH, Menino opened a burrito joint and reaffirmed commitment to DTX as a pedestrian mall.

The Globe story also has an amusing bit about what features of DTX the mayor's walking tour somehow missed.

There are now five Bolocos in the Financial District, by my count. The new one on School Street, unlike the others, is open "late"; until 8:00 PM. Plus, free wi-fi.

DTX is back!

Getting kind of pervasive, aren't they?

Maybe something besides stores? The stores there are at a competitive disadvantage already.

Is it a sign of how bad things are that the opening of a burrito place in DTX has been elevated to mayoral ribbon cutting level???

I read the Globe piece and found myself wondering, some of the quoted folks kept referring to a brighter day for DTX. But no one explained how we'll get there. Do they know something I don't?
