Police: Man getting less nervous the more he knocks over the same Dunkin' Donuts in Burlington
By adamg - 11/17/11 - 10:09 pm
Burlington Police report a man who robbed a Dunkin' Donuts in their town last Friday returned Tuesday and robbed it again.
The first time, the white guy in his 20s "appeared to be very nervous" as he told a clerk he had a gun - although he never showed it - and demanded all the money in the cash register. But when he returned Tuesday, his nervousness was gone, he pulled out what "appeared to be a black semi automatic" and told the clerk "you have 10 seconds, give me the money." He then reached over the counter, grabbed the cash drawer and fled. Police say they have yet to find the drawer.

It is UNFAIR to add another restaurant to our neighborhood, which already has a high density of food establishments and associated issues.
Also:
This MEGA project would significantly impact the character of the South End historic district and the vitality of its existing businesses.
The group, however, is not arguing the Dunkin' Donuts would lead to gentrification.

South Enders gird for battle against new Dunkin' Donuts
By adamg - 10/12/11 - 6:47 amSouth End Patch notes a proposed Dunkin' Donuts on Tremont Street (which would replace, gasp, a "modern furniture store") is "less than half a mile" from an existing Dunkin' Donuts.
