Northeastern becomes local watering hole's landlord

John Keith reports Northeastern University just put down $5.3 million to buy the building housing Punter's Pub at 450 Huntington Ave. No word on what they want to do with it, but he notes the school also owns the two parcels next to it.

I love that garbage place.

I'd say, like the above scenario, the likelihood of their keeping it open is small.

...almost every weekday (6 hours minimum) from 1978-83
(Maybe that's why my GPA was 1.5)

We've known for decades that NU would win the battle for that parcel, but Steve has held on for longer than anyone could have imagined. I'll be sure to stop by again a few times before it's gone. Sad to see such a great part of old Boston about to be swept away by my alma mater's endless quest to expand. NU doesn't remember what made it special.
