Boson House Of Toast Restaurant Closing - Victim of Changing Tastes and COVIDaster


 (UPI) Boson's famed 'House of Toast' restaurant is closing effective immediately the owners have announced.  With the covid restrictions and many months of no income the establishment was not making enough money.  

The restaurant was known for its quick service and modest prices for simple fare.  

"We sold mostly white bread toast lightly buttered," Frank Cataldo, the owner and manager explained.  "We charged one dollar for a take out order of four slices of toasted white bread.  You can't beat that for price."

On Tuesday nights the restaurant featured a cooking class for anyone who wanted to "Make the Perfect Toast."  

"We had whole wheat toast, of course, for the vegan types and whole foods lovers, but, mostly we served plain white bread toast.  We had cinnamon shakers at every table." 

"We tried moving outside when the covid restrictions eased and the weather was nicer," Cataldo explained.  "But it wasn't the same.  We had a 'comfy kitchen' feel inside.  We tried putting toasters at tables so people could make their own toast, but we had insurance issues, and the state labor department said we might have to classify customers as employees."

"So... we gave up the ghost," he sighed.  "We're toast."  



A last ditch effort to use the culinary knowledge about toasted bread has been placed in the 'House of Toast' Truck food truck that some members of the family have launched.  

"We will even pull up in front of your house and make the toast there and bring it piping hot to your front door."

Bosnon Mayor Marty Welsh has applauded one brave NASA administrator who is refusing to bow to the prevailing scientific consensus, and is risking potential ostracization or, worse still, online ridicule, for proudly declaring that “Pluto is a planet.”  "Pluto is a traditional planet, and that is what will be taught in Boson public schools," said Mayor Welsh.  Saturday, August 24, 2019 marked 13 years to the day since Pluto was demoted from having the status of a planet to being assigned that of a dwarf planet, by the International Astronomical Union (our solar system’s resident’s association of scientific fuddy-duddies).  At the end of a scientific conference, after many delegates had left,  a hot-shot young academic looking to make a name for himself 'deconstructing' what past astronomers had accomplished rigged a hasty vote to demote the planet.  People claimed that there was no way Pluto should be classified in the same category as gas giant Jup

'Islam Is Right About Gays' Leaflets Taped To Signs Around Town - Police Launch Manhunt - 28 Sept 2019

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of
