Back Bay Panera Lovers, Your Wait is Over

Shout out to Sandra for immediately calling me as she walked by the Panera Bread construction site on Boylston Street today. As everyone in my office knows, I’ve been annoyingly anticipating Panera’s opening for months now, and it seems my wishes have finally come true!

In four short days (and by my watch I’m guessing that’s Monday, but other reports say May 24), Panera will finally open it’s doors to all the business people who frequent Boston’s Back Bay area.

Osama bin Laden is dead, it’s been raining everywhere for the past 137,000 days, and LeBron James is about to fulfill his Messiah-like prophecy of winning an NBA championship.

According to Britain’s Daily Mail, an attempted bridal suicide was thwarted this week in China when a young woman was saved seconds before she jumped out a window. Though the 22-year-old was wearing a wedding dress, authorities are still unsure if this scene took place on her actual wedding day, however, they can say the bride’s reasoning behind all this was that her boyfriend broke up with her (so if it was actually her wedding day, the dude’s kind of a dick).
