I'm glad to read that the entry solution for Research Park Drive is the same solution for businesses on Airport Boulevard: use Ellsworth.

Enter from Ellsworth for Zingermans. I encountered this today. No warning. You don't know until you are there and have to figure out how to get around it.

All this could be avoided if people would only shop online.

I thought they were opening July 29th?

Earlier opening due to a business that is profit oriented, with a strict eye for what's being wasted and who's doing a good job, etc.; unlike the Big Dig, etc., where the city can rely on income that is legally guaranteed regardless of how you spent it, and whether the project is a good idea and/or is really needed, etc.

Earlier opening due to weather allowing faster development.....
