Oh, no, no, no, this just will not do: Dunkin' Donuts proposed for Dover

probably... big neon pink and orange plastic signage is loud and flashy compared to sbux's more subdued colors. at least with sbux you know what kind of coffee you're drinking: Kenyan or Columbian or Guatemalan and so on and so forth. Kids love Dunkies so it's probably best for parents with donut loving toddlers though. Both cost the same amount of money... I'd rather drink a regular old cup of black coffee than syrup-flavored coffee.

Why respond anonymously to needlessly insult a poster who's voicing an opinion that should be respected? So cowardly. As for a proposed Dunkin' Donuts in downtown Dover, there are already two establishments that carry coffee and pastries and breakfast sandwiches--Dover Market (right across the street) and the Dover Deli/Pizzeria (at the corner). There's no need for more coffee and doughnuts. In addition, there is no parking to cover this type of business. DD is proposing to rely on a town-owned lot behind it. Also, the water sourcing in that area is difficult. There are two churches right there that already struggle for parking. This is not a status issue, it's a common sense issue, so quit being so anonymously defensive. There are lots of people who live in Dover, and who have lived there for years and years, who don't have scads of money and kids in Ivy League schools.

As a Wellesley resident, this was the best think I have read all morning.

I can see the froth of anger spilling from your lips from here. First off, making the assumption that people from Dover, or anyone else for that matter, routinely litter and threaten bike-riding children with vehicular manslaughter as as part of the their everyday routines is quite revolting and immature and completely discredits you for anything rational that you might type into a comment box in the future. Second, I don't see anyone having done anything maniacal or panicky about a DD coming to Dover. So what? So there's some unfavorable reaction. Why not? Who needs another coffee/doughnut source other than Dover Market, which has great coffee and baked goods or Dover Deli, which is good enough for the hundreds of bikers who ride the roads there. This small-town "issue" has apparently touched a cord of resentment among people who don't live in Dover. No one from Dover who is not in favor of yet another coffee place has insulted anyone from a neighboring town, yet, this page is filled with insult after insult. I live in Dover. I'm a hard-working, kind, and responsible person. I bring my business to Dover and to all of YOUR towns, and that includes visits to DD. I would rather have another type of business on that proposed site because it's an opportunity to have something different to offer people. Your text only reflects weak-minded thinking and an insecure personality. Why don't you aim your unprovoked insults somewhere else? Better yet, go relax with a doughnut and a cup of coffee and rethink your strategy for being a decent human being.
