"I grew up here... It’s been my identity for as long as I can remember," Burke said. "It’s a terrible thing and I’m as sad as I can be. But the real estate in JP is as high as it’s going to get and I can’t afford to stay here any more." bos.gl/hgiyGwd
Burke added, “As of right now, I don’t know when our last day is going to be. They say this takes time so we probably have a month or maybe two.’’ bos.gl/F4Dn77f
