Mary Ann's

Cleveland Circle Dive Bar Mary Ann’s May Become Marijuana Dispensary - Eater Boston

"Mary Ann's, a longtime Brighton dive bar, may close to make way for a medical and recreational marijuana dispensary. The neighborhood isn't proving especially welcoming to the potential shop from Happy Valley Ventures of Massachusetts. The proposal has prompted staunch resistance from local business owners and the Brighton-Allston Improvement Association. The plan involves converting Mary Ann's into a doctors office-like dispensary with specific identity checks, pricing models, and security measures. Happy Valley Ventures reportedly has an agreement to buy Mary Ann's from the group of developers that purchased the bar in July." - Dana Hatic
