Macy’s is closing 150 stores nationwide. Downtown Boston’s may survive, thanks to the data center upstairs. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/20/bus… Jon Chesto

Patrick Roath Jon Chesto In my view, the economic history of downtown can be told by one word: MBTA Failure of “leaders” to invest heavily in MBTA, instead allowing it to crumble over a period of decades. High density of jobs downtown depend on public transit, not cars. MBTA was a gift to Boston.

This inevitably raises the question: If the team can share a stadium with the Revs next year, why not in future years? bostonglobe.com/2025/05/21/spo… via The Boston Globe

Jon Chesto The Boston Globe Well, the new Revs stadium must be at least 5 years away. But it's a poor decision to play the inaugural season at Gillette. You want an exciting venue you can sell out & have a rabid fan experience. Paying to get VAR into one of the urban college venues would have been wiser.

NEW: Providence is looking to host one of the teams that qualifies for the FIFA World Cup next summer. Right now, Johnson & Wales University and The Graduate Hotel are in the mix to be used as locations for a base camp. WPRI 12 MORE: wpri.com/news/local-new…

Market Basket board puts CEO Arthur T. Demoulas on paid leave Jon Chesto bostonglobe.com/2025/05/28/bus… via The Boston Globe

Market Basket by the numbers: 90 supermarkets, 30,000 workers, $7 billion in revenue. “It isn’t responsible to consolidate all decision-making into the hands of a single person,” said one board member involved in the coup. (reporting by Jon Chesto)

Jon Chesto Many of you will remember the Market Basket war of 2014. The workers stood with Arthur T last time, walking out of supermarkets to prevent his cousin Arthur S from taking more control. The big question now is, are we facing another mass walkout like that again?
