keithn.livejournal.comAccording to the revised ZBA agenda for March 18, Crunch Fitness has withdrawn their application for a variance that was required for them to open in the old Social Security building: http://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/agendas/ZBA3-18-15Revised.pdf
Although it isn't clear why they withdrew, I can't help but feel annoyed with the aldermen who have thrown up every ridiculous obstacle possible against businesses that don't have their personal favor from opening in that location. We had a proposal for a restaurant and gym to go in that building put forward 18 months ago and here we are 18 months later with nothing but an eyesore and no sign of anything changing anytime soon.
If nothing changes by this Fall, here's hoping for an actual choice on the November ballot.
