i saw it! as i was walking to work this morning from the lechmere station (a pensive, diurnal walk along first street), i happened to catch a shiny stealth of black lumbering in my direction. a dark cadillac paraded by, and i glanced at the license plates. they spelled out quite clearly: N E C C O. haha. it's the candyman himself! or, if he prefers, sugar daddy. apparently, no one has ever seen anyone come in or out of the necco factory in cambridge as long as it has been around, but i have proof that they (being necco employees) do exist. whew. we can all sleep better at night with this exciting new tidbit.
