NOW Northampton Is The Place To Be

Now, I may be the last person to realize this but, as I was driving into work today I noticed that Main Street Northampton will soon be the proud home of a brand new Dunkin Donuts! Finally Northampton has a place to get a respectable cup of coffee. What's better, it will probably replace two or three places like "The People's House of Coffee for People" and "The Angry Java Bean", neither of which ever seemed to have French Crullers available.

The only concern I have is that Dunkin Donut aficionados will probably be veering up onto the sidewalk, scattering pedestrians, in their search of the drive-up window.

But I'm sure those problems will work themselves out over time.

Hello Dunkin Donuts! Goodbye charming, unique, locally-owned businesses!
