Dunkin dreamin

I worked at the Dunkin Donuts on Route 22 in Harrisburg, PA in 1972, so I know that it’s true:

“Boy, those big jelly donuts, yeast raised with granulated sugar on the outside, were so loaded with jelly that when we took a bite out of one, it would squirt. It was fantastic! … This great experience left an indelible memory of how donuts meant so much to me.”

Ah yes, and to me too. But no more. There’s none here where I live now. Nada. And I’m not sure recent developments bode well for one coming here anytime soon:

Over the past five years the chain has sought to burnish its pastries with a glaze of class: Dunkin’ Donuts is reinventing itself as an upstairs-downstairs coffee house. It wants to lure more white-collar customers while tending to its loyal base of proles.
