South Boston phone store could be replaced by tropical fruits and coconuts

By adamg on Tue, 10/08/2024 - 11:31am

The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans to replace a former T-Mobile store at 471 West Broadway in South Boston's Perkins Square with a Playa Bowl outlet that serves dishes featuring such tropical offerings as açaí, pitaya and coconut, as well as smoothies for people who prefer their tropical tastes in more liquid forms.

The location would be the chain's third Boston outlet and the first not near a college campus.

Through an aide, City Councilor Ed Flynn voiced his support.

The outlet will still need to seek a food-serving license from the Boston Licensing Board.

This wouldn’t happen in Old Southie.

Remember the old days when Southie was overrun by T Mobile stores. Kinda sad to see one of the last ones bite the dust. Surely the end of an era.

When Magoo is feeling frisky feisty Magoo will sumtimes wear a coconut bra and tropical fruit underrooos and do exotic dances for Mrs. Magoo. Magoo.

I didn't get that visual, because I never read any magooey comments. It works great!

1. Scroll down and read the comments in a uHub post.

2. See the line by [anything magoo].

3. Scroll past that comment without reading any of it.

4. Continue reading comments.

It works with any commenters you know to be annoying.
Hope this helps!

There's actually a trick to hide comments from a poster - I thought that's what you were referring to.

I have no idea what people are whining about and don’t bother to find out.
Sometimes the whines are more boring than the Magoo. So I skip them too.
It’s such a simple solution. Hardly need to be spelled out.

Now I want a Banana Phone Bluetooth Handset.

The only thing stopping me is "Where do you put the banana after a call?"
