Boston's vowel shortage continues; board approves consonant-only club in the Theater District
By adamg on Thu, 05/02/2024 - 9:28am
The Boston Licensing Board yesterday approved Big Night Entertainment's plans to buy Metro, 100 Stuart St. in the Theater District, and rename it BSMNT.
The vote came not long after the board approved a new manager for WNDR in Downtown Crossing.
At a hearing Wednesday, Big Night attorney Kristen Scanlon said BSMNT would be similar to Metro, but with a new sound system through which DJs can pump out House music.
Last spring, the board approved a new Seaport restaurant called SAVR - the same day it also approved a new South Bay cookie shop called Crumbl.

Time for an Emergency Vowel
Time for an Emergency Vowel Airdrop.
Careful!
We don't want to start a vowel movement.
What does WNDR mean?
I just walked past this yesterday and wondered what it was. Their website, as far as I can tell does not define "WNDR", even in the FAQ section.
Yeah ...
It really makes you wndr.

Can you blame them?
$250 is pretty steep (even in 2024) for a vowel...
Vowel Theif
Bill Walton took all our vowels when he left town. He reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllly eeeeeeeeeeeeeennjoys them!
It must be the Russians
You know, the people who use names like Mstislav and Shchedrin, and have organizations named KPSS and VLKSM.
They'd better not try that with Bijou.
Unless they go for a classic Combat Zone vibe.
Time to buy up all the discarded vowels.
And hold onto them for when consonants are out and vowels are back in.

I like abbreviations
Why Basement?
Sounds like a Boston thing...
Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, South End and South Boston too. Do they have basements in Milton and the Back Bay? What about the North End; Do they have Basements? /s
Should be called …
… DWNCLLR.
Brilliant!
N/t
This doesn’t sit right with me.
Basements are where the bodies are buried.
And maybe the vowels too.
