University Stationery will close its doors Friday May 1, bringing to an end its 97-year run in Cambridge.

A Sad Passing to note (the owner died back in January and his longtime friend and employee for 25 years has been dealing with the wind down. The late owner's nephew was unable to find a buyer, and lives himself in Oregon and had no interest in continuing the business.

Piece by piece I have watched the Cambridge I move here for 29 years ago fade away, the neighborhood stores and people and institutions fade away or be forced out by greedy property developers or the long arm effect of the Trumpies of the world trying to break Cambridge with their policies. The true home of the original American Revolution and its descendents are being erased.

Feds withdraw funding notice just before hearing

"Huang said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had withdrawn the notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for the Continuum of Care program less than 90 minutes before a court hearing on both suits before District Court judge Mary S. McElroy in Rhode Island Monday. Cambridge city solicitor Megan Bayer told councillors that the judge “was very displeased with this last-minute change from the federal government, and specifically commented on how she worked all weekend to prepare for this hearing, and knows that plaintiff’s attorneys worked many hours, and she does not appreciate these shenanigans from the federal government.”

Judge Halts Trump Admin’s Attempt to Withhold HUD Funds From Cambridge

Once More The Battle Ends up in the Court over Trump Administrative Overreach.

The ruling comes after Cambridge joined more than 30 other towns, cities, and counties in a lawsuit against U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner. The lawsuit argues that adoption of certain policies “in exchange for Continuum of Care funds is an abuse of executive power and violates the Constitution and federal laws,” according to a city statement.
