McKinnon's will be closing

[koshmom.livejournal.com]

I just came home from McKinnon's.  I spoke with the guy in the Deli counter.  They will be sadly closing somewhere early next year.  Jan 2 earliest, but maybe into Feb or March.  The owner is 75 years old, no energy to restart.  They're not selling it, and the rent is too expensive for someone else to pick it up.

So sad.

edit, Dec 3: There's apparently a sign in the store's window saying they are not closing. There's another post in this davis square community discussing that.

I haven't been there in a while since I don't live within easy walking distance anymore (it's about a 40-45 minute walk now, and not on my way to or from work), but yeah, they always have had great meat for the price. I always got great stuff there--particularly the wonderful lamb leg steaks that are just right for two people, and which NO ONE ELSE ever seems to carry! *sigh*

I may need to head over there this weekend and put some stuff in the freezer...
