And who the hell knows if it’ll be any good. But, frankly, I’m contented that the L’Epicureo vision of downtown — faux Mona Lisas and armed guards and such — has pooped out.
Let’s hope that Aspire and others take note: Downtown shouldn’t be, and won’t be, the next 5th Ave or Newbury St.

Dave Segal Says:
‘Downcity’ always sounds strange to me too, but for what it’s worth, it is an official designation for part of old downtown — though not the whole thing.
Is Brussat out there, to explain it?
