I *was* wrong about Au Bon Pain, half-way. According to yesterday's
Herald they are a regional chain with stores in 20 states. I don't
remember the exact count because I was reading the Herald that was
spread out along the subway floor and I didn't want to touch it except
with my sneakers.
   I stop at the mall sometimes to eat at the Japanese place. You get
a huge pile of white rice and stir-fried veggies for something like
$2.75, one of the highest volume-to-price ratios around, and it's not
that bad.
   Finally, Central Square *had* a White Castle. The
distinctively-shaped building is still perched in the intersection of
River Western and Pleasant streets, near the police office. The
building was sold to a macrobiotic outfit for a while, and is now a
place where you can get THE best falafel and grape leaves sandwiches
in Cambridge, Moody's Falafel Palace (non-veggie grape leaves,
unfortunately) for a VERY reasonable price.
