5,000 sq ft at Elm & Chester?

[magpie-leah.livejournal.com]

I was just looking for something in the commercial rental listings on Craigslist and happened to stumble on this rental listing:

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/off/478803910.html

It sounds like the Goodwill, doesn't it? Say it ain't so! Though I suppose it could be the old Buck-A-Book location?

Sorry about this annoying and purely speculative post. I'm just very curious when it comes to changes in Davis Sq.

[edit: petula73 says it's MacIntyre and Moore that it's referring to. phew. (not that I'm not sad to see M&M go but that's old news)]

not goodwill

It is the mac & moore used books space.

Indeed, that is M&M, which is unfortunate, but I knew it was coming so not a shock.

You really scared me for a moment with the idea that it might be my beloved Goodwill!

On another note... I'm toying with the idea of renting a small office in Davis Sq since I work from home and want to get out a few days a week. So in my search, I saw this listing too:

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/off/477431046.html

Anyone want to rent this and then sublease me a tiny corner?! ha ha...

It looks amazing!

Everyone into the POOL!

maybe we should start a pool to see what goes into the M&M space (curiously, I haven't been in there in years - yet I am in Porter Books every few weeks).

-burrito?
-GAP?
-chatchkee?
-mini mall? (that could actually be kind of cool- bizarre bazaar)
-Trader... nah

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Okay, yes, I heard the rumors. I hoped they weren't true :(

After Jimmy Tingle's closed, the landlord put up both a "Live Theatre For Lease" and a "Retail Space For Lease" sign on the front of the building.

Studio for rent

[bostonartist.livejournal.com]

If anyone is Davis is interested in renting a space in Union SQ. I have this for rent:

Unique / wonderful 1000 S.F. studio for rent in a small artist building in the Union SQ area. This 1st floor studio has been used as a live in loft at times and as "work only" space at other times over the years. It has 9'7" ceilings and lots of windows. Full kitchen with 1.5 bathrooms ( one bathroom is shared / connected to another studio ). I would like to rent this space to a sole artist to use as a live / work space or to a few people to share as a "work only" space.

The rent is $900 + utilities ( electric and heat = approximately $200 / month) = $1100

Available now.

For more info call : 617-628-5475 or artslides@verizon.net

my money's on Tealuxe into m&m. bubble teas for all!

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

So what is the deal with McIntyre and Moore? Are they opening in a smaller space, or going virtual/Net-based a la Kate's Mystery Books, or are they just closing?

[srakkt.livejournal.com]

This makes me sad. :/ inexpensive math books made me happy.

Informational update:

I'm a real estate agent, so I called the rental broker for some info and was told the space would be available April 1, so in any case, M&M may still be around until early Spring.
