Donut and Donuts and giraffe

Yesterday was Drive Aimlessly through Quincy Day here at Chez Universal Hub. We couldn't help but stop to admire the donut shop with the best name ever in the history of donuts, on Hancock Street, and the 15-foot-tall giraffe made entirely of car bumpers outside this mall at Burgin Parkway and Granite Street.

And that still exists at Sullivan Square
I don't know for a fact, but I'm going to say yes - that name is just too insanely fabulous for two different people to come up with at the same time in the same metro area.
Wellington Station, Too
Right next to the fare gates.
That giraffe...
...will make a road trip to Quincy worth the price of admission this spring...
You don't even have to drive
You don't even have to drive -- it's maybe a five minute walk south of the Quincy Center T stop.
Donut and Donuts Logo
If I recall correctly, Donut & Donuts original logo was nearly identical to the well recognized Dunkin' Donuts logo. Orange DONUT above pink DONUTS in that unmistakable Dunkies font. I couldn't find a web reference but I seem to remember a news story years ago where Dunkin' either sued or warned that they would sue if Donut & Donuts didn't change their signage.
Donuts & Donuts used to be in
Donuts & Donuts used to be in Quincy Center Station and every night they made the donuts and the station smelled magical, now, not so much.
