Boloco for sale?

Every so often, I do a Google Blog Search for "Davis Square". When I did so today, I found:
Quick casual café concept in Somerville MA
8 Jan 2008
Located in popular Davis Square, this is a high profile location with excellent visibility and parking and in close proximity to Harvard Square, Inman Square and Porter Square. The site is within...
BizQuest.com: Massachusetts Businesses for Sale - http://massachusetts.bizquest.com/page1.html
The listing page itself carries no date, but I'm going to believe Google's "8 Jan 2008", especially since the listing currently appears on page 1 of massachusetts.bizquest.com, making it a very recent listing. It says they are selling the business for $250,000, after having sunk over $600,000 into renovations.

This sure looks like Boloco to me. Anyone know more?

Yes, it's been posted and they have the best pizza in Somerville.

Maybe because the people in City Hall go there often, since it is so close? Maybe the new owners contribute to political campaigns?

wow - I mean the pizza is awesome and the place is, in some ways, an institution...I wonder if some local politicos call the Paddock home? Wouldn't surprise me

Hmm. My boy lives right near there. I might have to try that. I am a HUGE fan of City Slicker pizza (good crunchy crust, tasty sauce, nice topping variety), but I'd give The Paddock a shot.

Paddock is the closest to NY/NJ style I've found in the area. you should poke Nep and me when you go
