Rozzie Square landmark, well, Jax, going out of business

Soon all those cheap suitcases chained together that nobody ever seemed to buy will only be a memory: Jax on Corinth Street is closing up shop, which will leave the Square with only one discount shop and which gets Tom Nealon to thinking the joint might make a good new place for his Pazzo Books:

... It's huge and pretty busted up, but a nice location and plenty of room. ...

that's too bad

I'd always pop in there for cheapo gluesticks and dishtowels.

is the whole Jax chain closing down?

such as the one in Central Square, Cambridge (formerly an FFC - Friendly Family Center)?

I hear an Ethiopian Restaurant will be opening in the Jax location.

Get out!

That would be awesome! But it's an awfully big space for a restaurant, no?

I heard the Ethiopian place (which I can't wait for!!) is going in across from Dunkin' Donuts in an existing restaurant location. I can't say I'm sad to see JAX go. It seems like there are better uses for that space (like an expanded book store!)

Anyone know why the landlord on all the buildings in that strip has the rent so high that they all sit vacant?

No more NuVo?

So Rozzie's pioneering Italian bistro is biting the dust?
