Today we spent the day appreciating how much immigrants affect our daily lives. A sign hand-printed and posted in a local bodega's window read “Closed May 1st. A Day Without Immigrants.

The Abbey Group, a real estate developer who revitalized the Landmark Center in Fenway, will be taking over the pub’s space to build 150 condominiums; the bar will most likely be closed by this December. According to the Globe article, the Abbey Group claims they might be “preserving some semblance of The Littlest Bar." (We aren't going to hold our breath on this one.) Since the place opens at 8:30am and stays open until 1:30am, there is plenty of time to stop in and pay your respects.
