The Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain could close next year because the building owner is demanding a rent increase, unless a new owner buys the venue. “I'm hoping to have somebody else take it over,” said Jay Balerna, who started managing the live music venue with his brother, David, in 1987, according to The Boston Globe.

Following Months of Uncertainty, Boloco Plans Return to Former Boston Location
After months of uncertainty surrounding its last remaining location, Boloco may have found a new home in downtown Boston. The fast-casual chain announced in late July that it would close its restaurant at 50 Congress Street as the building undergoes redevelopment, transitioning from commercial office space into residential apartments. Although the original closure timeline called for a September departure, developers at Mahoney Development Group granted Boloco a three-week extension to give the team more time to plan its next move. That extension has since stretched further, allowing the restaurant to remain open while the team works to secure its next location.
