Boston Licensing Board Chairman Daniel Pokaski said today he would oppose a request to extend the hours of a new Chinese take-out place on Harvard Avenue from midnight to 3 a.m. unless he hears support from nearby residents.

The owner of Unique Chinese, where Dragon Wok used to be, 145 Harvard Ave., goes before the Boston Licensing Board next week to seek permission to extend its closing hours from midnight to 3 a.m.

The hearing starts at 10 a.m. on Weds., Oct. 14 in City Hall Room 809A.

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports on a 150-person brawl on Harvard Avenue early on Sept. 19. At least three people were struck with "bottles, fists and skateboards."

Mr. Butch, gone.
Grecian Yearning, gone.
Marty's, gone.

What's next?

UPDATE: Channel 7 reports the guy was on his cell phone, didn't see or hear train coming right at him.

Around 12:30 this morning?

There are a large number of fire and rescue vehicles on Harvard Ave between Brighton Ave and Comm Ave in Allston. Ladder trucks are extended near the Wonder Bar and Soul Fire barbecue restaurant and police have closed off that block. I have no other details yet, as I typed this on the B line from my cellphone.

Update: LiveJournal members are saying that it was the Grecian Yearning Restaurant at 174 Harvard Ave that had a large fire.

Nice photo.
