Somerville institution rumored to be closing...

I haven't seen any other posts on this, so I figured it was worth sharing for all of those Soundbites lovers out there... The breakfast institution Soundbites will close (Feb. 15) - due to a lack of fire exit.

It's kind of funny that a restaurant being closed due to lack of a fire exit would still be allowed to remain open for an entire month. What if there's a fire?!

That's what made me think this rumor was inaccurate. If something violates an existing firecode, they close it. Cocoanut Grove laws and what-not. The only exception is when a new firecode element is announced (like the sprinklers in nightclubs) and businesses have a window of opportunity to comply.
