Talk of the Point

A man around the Point who should know thinks the Subway near-miss will probably happen again and again.

I’ve heard rumors lately expressed with absolute confidence that Hydrangea, the Point’s flowers-and-gifts shop, is closing. It’s not true. I have heard it now from the owner: she’s staying put.

Next Wednesday the city health department holds its final inspection. If the place passes muster, owner Joe Phoonpirom says he could be open about three weeks later.
