2008-08-16 13:32:33   I am stressing out this weekend to finish a huge project and around lunchtime Sat. I started craving donuts (fuel of writers everywhere...) I decided to go to Variety Donuts, not realizing they close at 12:30 on the weekends. Not only did they let me in the door after they were technically shut (turning the donut case lights back on and everything), but after I realized I didn't have enough cash for donuts they gave me a half dozen for free, saying "pay me next time." I will pay them back with interest: the donuts are delicious. I might get the project done now after all... —PhoebeAyers

And they will often throw in an extra doughnut or two if you are buying near closing time. But the main thing is how lucky Davis is to have local doughnut shops rather than big chains which are nowhere near as good. —CovertProfessor

• I've never seen a city of size without a local donut shop. —KellyM
• In California, yes. In other states, for a town of ~65,000 people? Very likely not.
