oh please... oh please... I love that store (all 3 branches) and was very sad when I heard they were closing... I hope this works out. And if it does, then not only do we get to keep the stores, but a bunch of people get to keep their jobs!

Adding in a couple of links to this week's other news stories, though they don't mention the latest possible buyers:

Cambridge's Bob Slate Stationer to close (Wicked Local Cambridge Chronicle)

Bob Slate Closes Three Art Stores (Harvard Crimson)

Ooh, I hope so. I will be sad if those stores go away.

And Rodney's bookstore! It's like local businesses have to threaten to close in order to get more support.

Every finger and toe crossed!

The stores all have signs saying they are closing — Church St on March 20, 1288 Mass. Ave. on March 27, and Porter Square “sometime in April”. So I don't know what has happened with the potential buyers.
