The Gigantic Dunkin Donuts

June 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments

As mentioned in the previous post, we had to make the trek from Newport to Providence yesterday to get my iPod fixed.

On the way back, in Cranston, Danielle spotted a Gigantic Dunkin Donuts.

Gigantic Dunkin Donuts

Only in Rhode Island would you encounter a donut shop that spans two storefronts.

It reminded me of Lewis Black’s take on the end of the universe.

Read this if you think it’s just a joke.

    Not the same thing, but I enjoy pointing out to people that we live in a town that features a Dunkin’ Donuts across the street from another Dunkin’ Donuts.

    This just happened to me yesterday - I was standing outside of a Starbucks in downtown Boston (on Winter St, near the T stop) waiting for it to open. (The details of why don’t really matter.) A man walked up to the door, looked at it, then looked at me. I explained that it wasn’t open yet, but that the School St Starbucks, just 5 blocks “thata way” (I politely pointed using my whole hand down Washington St) was open. He stared at me for a second then said “5 BLOCKS!! UGH! Forget it!” and walked away, disgusted.

    I’m not sure where he walked away too, but apparently somewhere closer than 5 blocks away.
