Todd English is in trouble again. He opened a restaurant in Fanuiel Hall. He was two years behind on the rent and Association Dues. In the middle of the night he went in, removed all his equipment and furniture and just left. He just tore out the equipment damaging walls that have been there for more than 300 years. The building is an historical one. It is a converted warehouse from Pre-Revolution days He left the space in a destroyed mess. It is owned by the City of Boston. This is not the first time he has been in trouble. His first place in Charlestown, (another historical building) was running rampant with rats. That place has been closed down by the Health Department on more than one occasion.
It's too bad. He tried to get too big, too fast. He has also had problems with his restaurants in Las Vegas. Then he tried overseas. That didn't work out very well either. But according to our news reports, the City of Boston is going after him. Along with the Merchants Association at Fanuiel Hall. The Mayor is fed up with him. And I have to agree. As the saying goes, "He got too big for his britches."
Fanuiel Hall is a very historical place in Boston. It is where John Adams defended the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre. It has always been a place for merchants to sell their wares. And they still do. At one time it was a farmers market. I remember when horse and wagons filled with veggies were there. Down in the basement of Quincy Hall were all the meat markets. My mother would take me there on Saturdays to help carry the bags. We Bostonians revere our historical buildings. A lot of them were built in the early 1700's. And for someone to deliberately damage them is unforgivable.
