The city official just ruled in our favor and the diner stays open late. I am overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone who stood up to protect this place that has been a home to my family for so long. We will remain vigilant to ensure this stays our neighborhood …
South Street diner is looking for your support.
We have a hearing July 7th Tuesday at Boston city hall room 809a 10am .
Please attend to save our diner.
We have a few new neighbors that want to roll back the hours of the diner and force us to close at 2 A.M. This would put us out of business.
We have been supportive of this neighborhood and our city. We have become a landmark that attracts students, workers, and the affluent.
We have tried to communicate with our few detractors. Unfortunately, they have chosen to ignore our efforts to meet any attempts to address the issues irritating them. We have supplied a doggie refuse door, we have supplied security every night, and we have even changed our garbage pickup times.
This appears to be a case of a few neighbors who bought their properties at peak prices and now want to blame our a little business for their misfortune and declining property values.
Our diner has been in business since 1947.
The residents that have an issue have been here for only 2 years.
Boston is a vibrant city and we love being part of it we... Please spread the word, because we need your attendance to continue to serve you at all hours !
Thank you for your patronage and your support.
My family has poured our lives into this diner for decades and watching these signatures climb toward the one thousand mark gives me real hope. Please send this link to your coworkers tonight so we can walk into that hearing with a massive number behind us.

My family built this place from the ground up and seeing these signatures climb toward the triple digits gives me so much hope. We need to push past this milestone before the hearing to show the city how many people rely on this diner at all hours. Please get the word out to anyone who has shared a meal with us so we can show them how much this community cares.

This place is a boston staple. people move into the city and then complain about the city being the city. leave the diner alone!
