Takeshima Over
Bikers in Boston are hardcore. You’d have to be since it is freaking scary to pedal out onto a busy street with the way people drive around here. Recently I found myself amongst a group of Harvard Street hooligans contemplating forming a gang but not just any gang, a bike gang. I suggested a good way to get their gang taken seriously was to claim a few Coolidge Corner businesses as their own. I suggested taking over J.P. Licks for starters.
Across the street from J.P. Licks is a Japanese restaurant called Takeshima (tak-uh-she-ma). The ring leader of the Brookline Bike Gang suggested that they could, “Take Shima over.” But they didn’t.
