Easter Sunday: a Good Time for a brawl
By Ron Newman - 3/25/08 - 1:09 pmEaster Sunday. For some people, it's a holy day to spend in church. For some others, a day to dress up in costume at the Hynes anime convention. And then you've got the folks at Good Time Emporium in Somerville:
Hundreds of people, some with bats and knives, fought inside the children's birthday party area at Good Time Emporium on Easter Sunday, according to police.
When Officer James McNally arrived at the scene, he said he saw a crowd of 150 to 200 people fighting, with "tables and chairs being thrown in every direction."
Fortunately, this place will soon be torn down, to be replaced with an IKEA store. At last report, they plan to relocate to Natick, where they'll fit in fine alongside Neiman-Marcus and Nordstrom.
