To Whom it May Concern,

At the October 4, 2006 meeting of the Eight Streets Neighborhood Association, Felino Samson, presented his new restaurant concept (“Pops”), which will be located at 560 Tremont St, Boston, MA. He came to the monthly association meeting to ask for our support for increasing the indoor seating capacity from 40 – 48 seats.

Mr. Samson’s concept is of a classic neighborhood bistro with moderately priced food. He presented diagrams and plans which show how they will be renovating the space to be a warmer and more open space. Mr. Samson showed that it very reasonably could accommodate the additional seating.

There were no concerns about the added capacity voiced during the meeting. The Eight Streets Membership voted and is not opposed to Mr Samson increasing his seating capacity from 40 – 48 seats.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns on this subject.

Thank you.

Yours,

Heather Slaby
Secretary
Eight Streets Neighborhood Association
