      @Councilor Sangiolo. Thanks to you! I understand you helped owner Tom Lions wade through some regulatory issues.

    Always happy to help in any way I can. We certainly need to do more to assist our businesses – have clear guidance and predictable timetables on the processes and permits involved! It has been a pleasure working with Tom!

    Happy to hear that the New England Mobile Book Fair is re-opened. I wanted to go in today, but it looked closed. Maybe a sign in the window We are Open would help. Glad Tom you could keep the business open and in a great location.
    Best luck for your continues success.

      @Nancy: I suspect Tom’s sign is still waiting to go through the various regulatory approvals that signs need to go through. But I know he’s working on it and anxious to hang it up.
