McIntyre & Moore's upcoming relocation

[ron_newman]

I just got this e-mail from McIntyre & Moore:

We at McIntyre and Moore Booksellers are pleased to announce that we just received a signed lease on our new space at 1971 Mass. Av., in Porter Square, Cambridge, downstairs from Bob Slate's. We’ll be opening there in late March or early April. We’ll still be on the Red Line, and for our Davis Square friends we’ll be about a ten minute walk away. We’ve already started pricing books for the new store, and we’re excited about the stock we’ll have.

Until then, please visit us in Davis Square and help with the move by participating in our moving sale:
20% off through Wednesday 2/20
30% off Thursday 2/21 through Wednesday 3/5
40% off Thursday 3/6 through Wednesday 3/12
50% off Thursday 3/13 through Wednesday 3/19.

Thanks for your interest, and we hope we’ll see you soon.

I hope they do better in that space than the previous tenants.

And, c'mon, toy store!

Well thank goodness at least they aren't closing indefinitely.
Still, i wish they would stay where they are.

Thank you for posting this.

They needed a smaller space with lower rent. Unfortunately, this probably means no more public events. I think Bookcellar eventually had to stop hosting an open-mike night because of insufficient fire exits.

No more Philosophy Café ? :(
And no more magical cellar of ancient stacks...

[ron_newman]

Philosophy Café will probably have to move elsewhere. Tonight's is the final public event of any kind scheduled in the Davis Square store.

I guess i will have to enjoy it to the best of my ability. Will you be there?

[ron_newman]

No, I can never attend this because I'm on the Somerville Bicycle Committee, which also meets on the third Tuesday of each month.

Awe, that's a shame (the overlap, not the Committe. that is pretty great).
One of these days i will finally make your acquaintance!

Ooohhh... Cheap books. I'm in.

Sweet - more room for another burrito joint in Davis!

(Sigh.)

W00t. The Bookcellar space is ideal for them. YAY!

As for the event thing, I think they should partner up with the nice people at Good Food Cafe. Or Boloco.

good idea

... to partner with Good Food Cafe!

Ooh, good idea - GFC strikes me as very spacious, and it's not *too* far up Mass Ave. Though Boloco would be even closer ...

I'm so glad they're only moving to Porter. Although this gives me one more reason to go hang out at Bob Slate's and I really don't need more stationery.

Sweet...I can couple that with visiting Spark then. My bank account may not recover.
Thanks for the info.
