Local business changes

• For those who hadn't seen yet, Johnny D's was completely torn down this past week. Despite the plan to build condos/apartments above it and repurpose the space for retail, their engineers apparently said the old building couldn't support floors above.

• The old Snappy Ramen location on Highland will be opening soon as a branch of Tsurumen Ramen, an Osaka-based ramen mini-chain that apparently had a location in Hawaii and a NYC pop-up until recently.

• Kor Tor Mor (former Golden Light location) has a website up and says they'll be open within a week or so.

Oh wow, even more ramen.

College kids do love their pricey ramen.

I also noticed that Taipei Tokyo is closed for refurbishment, and according to Eater Boston may be turning into a Mongolian hot pot place called Hulun Beir (so, thankfully, not more ramen).

I would so rather have thai street food and hot pot than ramen, but maybe that's just me. excited for these new places!
