The BRA, the elected neighborhood officials, and a large chunk of the Southie community are with you. William Linehan, a Boston City Councilor, added, “All the elected officials were on the same page in opposition,” he said. “But every once in a while the ZBA makes a decision based on whatever the laws and rules are...” The question to be asking now is, will she be able to stay in business with so much opposition from the community and government organizations?

You have GOT to be kidding. I moved out of the South End because it got to the point where there were far more goods and services for dogs than people, and now I see the same thing slowly but surely starting to happen in Southeie. Don't me wrong, I love pets but I think something very odd happened to people during the past 5 or 10 years to the point where dogs are now considered "humans." Dogs are not humans. They do not need sweaters, booties, baked-goods, massages, organic food, - and certainly not "luxury hotels!
