Daisy Buchanan's - Boston

I spent a 1,000 nights in this joint when I went to school around the corner at Northeastern, personally, I never thought a place like daisy's could/would close.

I actually shed a tear as I read this. When I would go home each summer and attend a Red Sox game we would always make our way over to Daisy's to relax after the game.

Was announced a year ago, thought you knew I would have sent you the article from when the decision was made...

Lot of dope dealers and perverts that are now homeless.

Places like that should never close, it's like the Cask, Beacon Hill Pub, Clarke's @ Faneuil Hall or Hong Kong in Harvard Square... boys became men in those places...

It was different when Downtown Crossing was actually there and gentleman roamed Government Center. People don't eat lunch in placed like that anymore and it's far from a dinner spot.

Closed about two years ago.

Cursed? How so? 100 + years isn't a bad run. Yvonne didn't think so.
