"The longtime East Cambridge storefront is best known for its iconic “Live Poultry Fresh Killed” sign; after the shop closed the physical sign and its trademarked design went up for auction and the East Cambridge Business Association purchased both for $22,500. The nonprofit says it will coordinate with city officials to reinstall the sign in a public spot rather than hide it away, and is rolling out new merchandise featuring the design — a move welcomed by local fans who were saddened by the store’s closure and who view the sign as a symbol of Cambridge Street and the small-business community." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
