Mel’s Lounge, a State Street institution since 1963, is closing on August 24. - SB Independent
900 square feet with a rent that was raised to $10,000 a month. Ah, that's alot of margaritas on the rocks to serve up. $10,000 a month for 900 square feet. The only thing that can afford to go in there is another stupid chain store.
