Green Line delay means no mo' Boloco on Boston Ave in Medford

from Medford Green Line Neighborhood Alliance blog:
Medford Boloco to close; owner cites GLX delay as factor
The Boloco restaurant at 340 Boston Ave. will close on Nov. 30, Boloco CEO John Pepper told the Medford Green Line Neighborhood Alliance in an email Sunday night.

Responding to an email reminder about a public meeting this week about the latest Green Line delay, Pepper said the fact that the project is languishing was a factor in his decision to close the Medford location.

This news is sad, but not totally surprising, unfortunately. Among the 2500+ signatures to the mayor's petition protesting the Green Line Extension delay were several comments stating that their decision to move to Somerville was based on the coming Green Line Extension.
