Renovations at Dunkin' Donuts sees (temporary?) removal of big Dunkin' Donuts cup from marquee



As we exclusively revealed last week, the Dunkin' Donuts on First Avenue and East Sixth Street closed on Nov. 13 for renovations. (Actual renovations, not "renovations.")

Anyway, as we closely monitored the situation here every single day, we noticed that the iconic giant Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup is no longer on the marquee…



No word yet if/when the DD cup will return. (It was looking rather weathered.)

For now, the DD cup will live on in our memories… and Flickr

Love him or hate him, hats off to EV Arrow for working the Saturday shift.

Thanks! I was worried because I slept through my alarm!

Are reclining seats coming to Dunkin' Donuts too?

No one hates EV Arrow, @9:49. Perhaps some folks have an intense, intense dislike for that over-emoting, scene-stealing prima donna, but no hate.

I want that "journalist" from that B + B blog to do an exposé of EV arrow, 'cause EV arrow isn't pointing at here so well.

I wish EV Arrow would run for mayor.

They'll have to serve beer and wine to compete with McDonalds all day boozy breakfast! Bottoms up!

That big cup and the flag violate sign regulations.
If you see them putting it back up, call 311 please.
Signs are not supposed to be in the residential part of the building, nor greater than 2 feet from facade.

And now the arrow is pointing at something that's not there.

Sigh.

I liked the big cup taking it away and the dullness of commercial signs in our city is just another "tasteful" mall idea from the suburbs, we have lost everything cool.

I wonder if they'll take down that sheet of rags that used to be a banner - if that was flapping outside my window I'd have flipped out already - typical franchise attitude - neighbors eat their shit, they take the profit
