Seek Books is open up the street at 1747 – lovely little shop, great ambiance and a nice selection of SF, Fantasy and Horror including piles of hard to find authors like PKD, Michael Moorcock, Lovecraft, Varley, Delany, and others. Hurry over and get a free DVD including the original Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price.
Samia’s is regrettably no more, but work appears to be moving along in the reconstruction into Shawarma King. We were a bit concerned yesterday when they had a Stop Work on the window but it’s moving along and new windows appear to have gone in today.
I drove past Skara and they don’t look open but they got rid of the pick up window. Bummer.
Boomerang appears on track.
The new Martial Arts Studio (from Corinth next to the Jax in Rozzie) is opening this month.
Family Dollar store professes to be unconcerned with potential competition from the Family Dollar Store in Roslindale.

Just across from where Boomerang’s will be, next to Auntie B’s, the new consignment store looks to be coming along nicely. There’s also that Boston-area pizza chain going in where the tragic Chinese food restaurant fire happened (can’t think of the name of the pizza chain…) Anyway, recession shmeschession. Hooray for West Roxbury.
Oh yeah, Upper Crust, I think? Auntie B’s Irish Breakfast sub is divine.
