Davis Square Rosebud Diner Stays Shuttered as Property Sale Stalls

The Somerville Licensing Commission took up a communication tonight about the Rosebud Diner at 381 Summer St., closed since operators at Bindaas Concepts shut it without warning in mid-May. The operators told commissioners on July 21 that they were negotiating to buy the diner's property and expected to reopen to customers in two to three weeks if the purchase succeeded. That did not happen, and the Davis Square diner remains shuttered.
