McIntyre and Moore to close April 1

Not really news, as we've unfortunately been expecting it for a while, but this Somerville News article makes it official.

I sure hope they can find another smaller space to move to in our neighborhood.

A quote worth discussing here:

[Store manager Peter] Coyle has no problem with realtor Mike Gorin who he said has been “very reasonable” given the size and location of the store’s current space. Instead, he faults the changing culture of Davis Square, which has become more of an “entertainment destination” in recent years.

Here's an earlier post on the subject, and an earlier Somerville News article, both from last March.

Just a reminder that we are having an informal meet-up Wednesday the 23rd at the Burren. We will be meeting in the back room at 7pm. If you can't make it right at 7pm, no worries, several of us are hardcore drunks sociable and will be there for a few hours. Stop by and say hello.

If you have any questions, let me know.
