Kicking around Fort Point over the weekend, I came across the Channel Cafe. Located in the Fort Point Arts Community bldg on Summer Street. This funky subterranean spot is just what we need at Western Ave. Studios. With the Gazebo Cafe closing in the Textile Museum on Friday, meal options in the outer edges of downtown have gone from slim to none. Furey’s doesn't count because it smells like carpet fresh. Lots is happening at WAS, last time I checked some 400 artists were working there. And they need to eat. A new gallery, the loading dock, opened recently and I propose a cool cafe that does coffee/breakfast for artists and the companies still operating over there and lunch for us working stiffs. Dinner on friday w/ poetry readings/music would be ideal. Let's beef up this creative class with more places that cater to them/us. Has anyone been to the Channel Cafe? Worth a visit. Their din. menu included chicken under a brick. Intriguing.

A cafe in the Western Ave. Studios is a great idea, now if only certain obstructionists would allow that condo development to proceed, that area could become the next Fort Point. Are you listening Councilors?
Hey GG. It's Furey's'. If you can get past its dankness it can be a good time. Places like this are dying out in Lowell. I'm all for progress but find Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery boring.
