Rosebud Diner totally gutted

[ron_newman]

The interior of the Rosebud Diner has been totally demolished. It's unrecognizable now.

One of the diner's front windows has two city permits displayed -- one for the demolition, the other for a dumpster. The permits were issued on January 31, so this work happened fast once it started.

If anyone has any news or even relevant rumors about what the owner's plans are, please post them here.

As a follow-up, the rumors were true -- Eater is reporting (http://boston.eater.com/archives/2014/02/25/painted-burro-owner-to-turn-rosebud-into-a-roadhouse.php) that the Painted Burro folks (Alpine Restaurant Group) are going to turn the Rosebud into a "roadhouse diner". It'll still be called The Rosebud.

Thanks! Sounds like the place may become an ironic hipster version of its former self, but that's better than having it sit empty or slowly deteriorate.
