M3 restaurant closed due to seizure

M3 restaurant, at Highland Ave and Cutter Ave, has big orange SEIZED signs plastered all over the doors and windows.

A notice left at the front door says that the Constable's Office seized the restaurant on behalf of landlord Christos Poutahidis, because the restaurant owes the landlord $25,238.

He can have his name on that ugly-ass building; that way everybody knows who to boo.

It's not even tacky bad, it's bad bad. That column on the corner that's half fake marble, half fake brick? Why? Worried a single fake marble or fake brick column might look too real? Ugh. And it's next door to the Rosebud and right across the street from a real gem of a bank building, however run-down. Sandwiched between two beautiful pieces of architecture. It's like biting into a lovely-looking cake and finding a layer of dried potpourri. Can't say as I'm a fan.

I totally agree with you 100% here about the atrocity that is that building, but I don't know whether we blame Poutahidis or Peter Quinn Architects. Quinn is a a licensed architect, has education and training. They should know better.

There's enough hideous and ugly there to go around. We can blame both of them!

Blame both.
Peter Quinn Architects are despicable. The eyesores in Davis, Mass Ave Cambridge across the Crate and Barrel and now they're going to put another one in Teele Square.

Oh, no. They're actually going to make the burnt-out pit look worse, aren't they.
