Stacie Hernandez+FollowBeacon Hill loses a neighborhood stapleCharles Street Liquors is closing its doors after more than 20 years, marking the end of an era for Beacon Hill. Owner Chris Pedersen shared that shifting neighborhood habits, personal health challenges, and the loss of other local favorites like Savenor’s and Panificio all played a part in this tough decision. For many, this store was more than just a place to buy wine—it was a community hub. Chris will now focus on his health, family, and supporting Strongwater Farm’s work with veterans. How do you feel about the changing face of our neighborhood? #Business #BeaconHill #Community00Share
mary01+FollowBoston’s Christmas Eve hot dog tradition returnsJack Gurnon is back on Charles Street this Christmas Eve, firing up the grill and handing out free hot dogs—a Beacon Hill tradition that’s warmed the neighborhood for 25 years. What started as a way to cheer up his staff on a slow, snowy day turned into a community event when a customer in a mink coat asked for a bite. After a COVID pause, Jack’s wife insisted he bring it back this year. It’s these small, neighborly gestures that make Boston feel like home. Who else has a favorite local holiday tradition? #Food #Boston #BeaconHill00Share
