Instead, we'll be forced to go to more expensive shops like Starbucks just to get a simple cup of coffee or waste gas driving to Caraways from the high school. The dollar or so it takes to buy one cup at DD will turn into at least 3 dollars at Starbucks. Additionally, the plaza offers things for all Wayland residents, not just students. Morns is a great restaurant that stands out among the numerous pizza places in Wayland, and DD is close to the high school and Cochituate Field, making it easy for parents to buy coffee/donuts during sports seasons. The CVS and RiteAid in Wayland combined must provide 98% of services needed by Wayland residents. If you need such specialized care from CVS, why not drive the extra 10 minutes to Natick or Framingham? This effort on the part of the few people who need the CVS services is a fitting price for saving the atmosphere and contributions of the current plaza in Cochituate.

I understand the social redemption of an early morning interaction but at the cost of college contribution. Competition is healthy and a dinky little Rite Aid that does not offer any real cost savings to the consumer is somewhat of a monopoly. We will all benefit much more in terms of health care options -blood pressure screenings-lower cost perscriptions- and the possibility of a small walk in center for flu shots etc.. What if there was a epidemic could we all fit into Rite Aid I think CVS is a good alternitive to a single choice and long over do. We could insist on a village facade that would blend in to our village.

A great way to get involved is to join one of the numerous committees that are aimed towards protecting the "Cochituate Village" and its surrounding community. The CVS is a monstrosity blighting the face of our town and we, the students, should vocalize our rejection of it.

Maybe a number of you feel so strongly about the possibility of seeing Dunkin Donuts and that ENTIRE corner of E.Plain and Main St. turned into a huge oversized 'cookie cutter' CVS... that you could form a group who stays on top of the meeting with the Planning Board in early January and Zoning Board in later January. You could help get the petitions signed by folks who are 18 and above against the destroying out 'village'. Your strength of #s could be quite a presence at those meetings, and your parents particularly - they pay the property taxes. Speak to the class advisors, or, better yet... pursue it through the parents that are so involved. good luck joining in the political process. hgp great to get info out to the Wayland students.
