A Fond Farewell

As a Bostonian born and bred, it has been a sad few months as I have had to bid a fond farewell to a number of businesses that made up Boston to me.

City Sports filed for bankruptcy in October 2015.  It was founded in 1983, and it seemed that everyone had one of their T-shirts.  The location I especially favored was in Downtown Boston.

Ben & Jerry's location at Park Plaza Hotel.  Every one of my Free Scoop Day visits were to this location.  It was also where I first tasted Chunky Monkey, and Cherry Garcia.

And last but not least, Finale, also at the Park Plaza Hotel, the last of the small local chain of dessert shops, which once were also located at Coolidge Corner and Harvard Square.  Their molten chocolate cake was one friend's fave.

Edit 2/3/2016 -

The Eddie Bauer Outlet remains with us only till 2/23/2016.  Then sadly, their doors close.  In the meantime, everything they have in stock is currently 70% off.
