Boston Blackie’s Not So Much in the Black

Thanks to a series of ambitious expansion plans that all wound up being pooped on by the recession, mini-chain Boston Blackie’s has filed Chapter 11, reports Crain’s. Per their bankruptcy filing, they have debts of $6.4 million against assets of only about $17,000. For now, this won’t affect your burger — the restaurants are staying open during the financial restructuring. [Crain’s Chicago]
