“I had a choice. Make Locke-Ober more casual, lower our standards to conform with the way society is today, or I could close it. I could close it with its history and its dignity intact..." Bravo, Mr. Ray!
I feel bad about this story, but I realize that times have changed in Boston. This restaurant will be featured in Boston's fames history.
