The out-of-town gangster didn't realize Dunkin' Donuts wasn't the best place to try to avoid the coppers

Old car at old donut place

Chris Devers spotted an unusual car last night at the Dunkin' Donuts at Market and N. Beacon streets in Brighton.

That's not as weird as this jalopy which I occasionally see parked around Allston

I was similarly confused. Took me about 10 seconds of staring to realize those were decals on the window.

Actually since they went all national and shit, Dunkin Donuts dropped the ethnic cruller tag (and the knotted doughy treat) and they're just "sticks" now. Sorry Smoke Monster. You'll have to go independent if you want a cruller.

FIGHT THE donut POWER!

Isn't that how Donald Rumsfeld used to refer to his "subordinate"?

I also like the police car in the background flying by with its lights on.

I remember going to that location, and others (usually late at night after going out to see bands) in the mid-80s, when they still had counter service.

...I actually remember going to Dunkin Donuts to buy donuts. Because they were edible, once upon a time...those days are long gone.

Lots of people realize that Dunkin donuts really aren't very good, and not worth the fat and the clogged arteries.

Can you imagine if Dunkin sold only coffee and Cinnabon? Half the city would need Segways to get their asses to their cars, and Dunkin would need drive-thrus.

Well okay, nearly the only comment so far, but still, this from Flickr user dr_timbabwae is great:

My name is Tom Lawrence. Some people call me "The Falcon." I was called to the Dunkin Donuts. There'd been a murder. Weapon: the deep fat fryer. I was hired by the store manager to find the murderer. The local constabulary sped by the scene, heading to the wrong Dunkin Donuts. Typical of their investigative prowess. All part of a long night and a case that would come to be known as, "The Killer Cruller."

This would work as Guy Noir, Private Eye, too. :-)
