OK, so Toscanini's has been shut down for non-payment of taxes.

As Bostonist reports,
Aside from the word "SEIZED" in huge typeface, the sign read: "Seized for nonpayment of taxes and is now in possession of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."


So, here's my problem. Am I the only one who thinks that "in possession of" is misused? To me, that says that Toscanini's now owns the Commonwealth.

...or maybe it's just me.

Hope to see some of you there!

I am likely to be way too far behind to catch up when I get back; let me know here if there's something I should see.
