Coming Soon To Old Emack & Bolio's Spot In Washington Square

BROOKLINE, MA— After about two years sitting empty at the corner of Beacon Street and Winthrop Road a new sign has popped into the window where Emack & Bolio's. Gone is the old wooden model boat and the ice cream.

In its place? "Brookline Veterinary Center" reads the sign. The vet is coming this fall, according to the company.

The clinic offers full-service veterinary for dogs, cats and other small animals. The comprehensive veterinary services cover all aspects of routine wellness care, as well as surgery and specialized medical care, according to the website.

This is one of five centers across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as part of the "Callanan Veterinary Group."

When it was Emack & Bolio's, the Washington Square corner shop served ice cream along with a scoop (or two) of whimsy with its bright purple and green and yellow walls over wooden floors for almost two decades. A wooden boat - a holdover from its Aquarium location - sat in the front window and hand dipped cones sat on display.
