Stellabella Toys moving to Elm Street (former Knucklebones, Caning Shoppe, etc. site)

[ron_newman]

Stellabella Toys will move in early September from their current Porter Square location (1967 Mass. Ave.) to the edge of Davis Square, 196 Elm Street. This is the former site of Knucklebones (and before that, of the Caning Shoppe).

They will be in only the former-Knucklebones half of the building, not in the half that's still empty and for lease. The new store has a bit less selling space than the old one, but has a full basement for storage, which the current store entirely lacks.

Expect a "store moving" sale to start soon.

wasn't that one of the problems with Knucklebones, that neighbors complained about activities in the back yard?

The problem was that, business-wise, that area can only be used for retail, and KB was operating as a pay-to-play place. IANAL, but I believe using the yard for free events would not violate the zoning restriction.
