I was initially disappointed about Boston Pizza, until I thought about the quality, and quantity, of restaurants in our downtown. In all fairness, we have a HUGE number of unique, local restaurants located downtown... and almost no chains. If anything, chains are what we lack downtown. Now, I'm not suggesting that we NEED chains... I much prefer local restaurants. I've just decided that I'm indifferent if it is a Boston Pizza. Major cities have ALL the chains in their downtown, mixed in among the local fare. I'm just going to take this as a sign that our downtown has grown to the point where chains actually want to be located there, and that's a good thing, but until they start running the local restaurants out of their space I'm not going to worry. A Boston Pizza in a large office building isn't something that bothers me. I'd much rather them located there, than in another box store in a power center.
