Where did the old Citgo sign letters go?
One original 11-foot letter is hiding inside a Kenmore Square bar. As the iconic Citgo sign that welcomed fans to Fenway Park and marked the final stretch of the Boston Marathon came down this spring, one question lingered: What would happen to the original letters that had become part of Boston’s identity?

This Boston bar offers 'progressive happy hour'
Steph here , your friendly neighborhood cheapskate. A Charlestown bar is trying to incentivize afternoon foot traffic with a "progressive happy hour." The intrigue: The specials at Sullivan's Public House can't include alcohol because of the state's liquor restrictions, but it can subsidize food during lulls. State of plate: The bar offers a free appetizer with a drink, but only between 4-4:15pm Monday through Thursday. There's a 75% discount on an appetizer from 4:15-4:30pm, then a 50% discount from 4:30-5pm. Between 5 and 6pm, apps are 25% off if you buy a drink. What I got: A small plate of bourbon glazed ribs and some pigs in a blanket in the last hour, alongside a couple of $15 espresso martinis. With the discount, they cost $12 and $10.50, respectively. Be smart: If you're trying to save money, don't get suckered into buying drinks you didn't want for some cheap eats. I was planning on meeting a friend over drinks anyway, so the happy hour felt worth it.

Bronzetti's ends Columbus Club venture to refocus on Eagles location
One of the biggest challenges of owning and operating a restaurant is keeping it clean and rodent-free, especially in an older building. This is the top priority of Bubba Bronzetti, owner of Bronzetti's Pizza & Kitchen after a recent routine health inspection at the restaurant's location at South Framingham Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge , 55 Park St, found 10 violations, including rodent droppings and a mouse sighting. All of the violations have been corrected and Bronzetti did not have to shut down, but soon after, he announced the termination of his restaurant's brief partnership with The Columbus Club, where he was operating a catering business. Bronzetti said the two developments are not directly related. The inspection occurred at the Eagles, not the Columbus Club. But he acknowledged that trying to operate at two locations stretched him thin and diverted his attention from the restaurant at the Eagles, where Bronzetti’s has operated for about four years. "I think the Columbus took my focus away from the Eagles, where it began to kind of slip a little bit," Bronzetti said. Bronzetti and fiancée Melissa Hanna had concentrated on building the Columbus Club operation while employees managed the Eagles restaurant. More: USA
