Neighbor Spotlight: Nik Bastman

October is Nik Bastman’s favorite month. That will be obvious if you look at his arm on the front page. Of course the arm is attached to Nik all year long, celebrating fall colors, bats, pumpkins, ghosts and other delightful and slightly scary things throughout the year. That is just his right arm. I will discuss his left arm later.

by Catherine Jozwik 

Glorioso’s, the Italian grocery store and East Side favorite for 64 years, is planning to expand and move to a different location.  Luckily for its loyal patrons, Glorioso’s won’t be leaving Brady Street. Its owners have purchased the building that formerly housed the Brady Street Pharmacy and the new store is projected to open in spring 2010.
