Related to SS Building issues

I just noticed in the Boston Globe article about the structural issues of the Social Security building this morning that it states that Roche Brothers has pulled out of moving into that space. That's the first I've heard about it falling through, and I'll be disappointed if it's true.

FWIW, I find that I am much less disappointed to hear the Roche Bros. is pulling out than I would have been a few weeks ago. Roche Bros. opened a location at downtown crossing near where I work a few weeks ago. (It's in the former Filenes's Basement.) I thought it would be great, I could pick up this and that as I headed into the T on my way home. Then I saw the prices. A lot of things were literally twice as expensive as Stop and Shop. There is a limit to how much I am willing to pay for convenience.

The location that was to open in Davis was their new offshoot, "Brothers Market", which would have been more akin to Bees Knees Supply Co. or the grocery area at Dave's Fresh Pasta – a specialty high-end grocer featuring locally made products, organic produce, etc. Their products would not have been everyday items or at all inexpensive.

It sounded to me like its closest competitor (both geographically and philosophically) would be Pemberton Farms.
