Apparently, even the South End has its limits

Devra First reports that the fancy-shmancy French place that replaced Bob the Chef (sorry, Bob's Southern Bistro) in October is already out of business. Next up: Upscale burger joint? Oh, wait, how about a soul-food place. With music. Nah, that'll never work.

Dejavu is a good name
Byron can help with the liquor license transfer.
Sigh. Please, fix the tag.
Sigh.
Please, fix the tag. This place is in Roxbury, not the South End.
We've been over this before
and 604 Columbus Avenue (at Northampton St) is, by any reasonable standard, part of the South End.
Here's an 1867 map of Boston, probably the last one published before Boston annexed Roxbury. Zoom in and scroll over towards the left side of the map. On Columbus Avenue, Boston ends and Roxbury starts around Lenox Street. (Back then, Mass. Ave. was called Chester Park and Chester Square.)
The US Postal Service (USPS) concurs
I lived near that corner for a while and in my heart of hearts was devastated to learn that I had moved into expensive digs in Roxbury, rather than expensive digs in the South End.
... but i just re-checked and it seems the USPS has quietly moved that region back into the South End, or "Boston" In postal parlance.
