It's a shame there are no longer any businesses along that stretch of Mass Ave, for all those bus riders to enjoy... \s

Edit: sarcasm flag before OP comes to my home to do me harm

I live there and have absolutely no idea what the fuck you are talking about. They are all still open. Even the biggest moaners like Fast Phil's and City Paint are still around. Season To Taste moved into a larger building with zero parking in a more expensive part of Cambridge.

And frankly, many of the businesses in this stretch of Mass Ave suck big time and despite living literal footsteps from them I refuse to patronize them because they offer awful products or services.

I rode my bike by Fast Phil's a few weeks ago when it was warm, and the dude sitting out in front (Phil?) waved and said hi to me... I was surprised because I've seen them listed as one of the biggest crybabies about the bike lanes... signs of a thaw?

Honestly he is a friendly and chatty guy, and seems like a good human being. I think if he wants his business to succeed he can’t live in the past, which is what all these businesses are trying to do. Despite me liking him in general, I don’t get my hair cut there lol.
