See what's moving into a long-vacant space.
A new Asian restaurant with a sushi bar is moving into two of the three long-vacant storefronts across from Summer Street Field. Sono restaurant received common victualler and all-alcohol licenses Monday from the Board of Selectmen in a unanimous vote. A common victualler license allows a business to serve food.
