Sabertooth Vegan Bakery in Ball Square posted this morning on instagram and facebook that they were going on a "permanent vacation". The end date isn't firm but likely in the next two weeks. The facebook post is here: https://www.facebook.com/sabertoothbakery?_rdr=p None of the posts mention Taco Party closing, so I am assuming they will stay in the space.

Not Davis Square per se, but probably of interest to folks in the area: "Pursuant to this directive, MassDOT and the MBTA are working together to develop and execute a 90-day plan that will result in a report to both the MassDOT Board of Directors and the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board on whether and how to proceed with the project."
