With a palpable hankering to see a live show, I stumbled upon a pair of free tickets to see The Wailers at the House of Blues on a Saturday night in January.

In desperate need of an excellent, but last-minute, birthday gift for one of my closest friends and shopping companion, I decide to stop at the not-so-former site of Casa’s catering I’ve noticed the past few weeks. Newly opened, this plain, warehouse-looking, stand alone building is a perfect illustration of the residential-commercial-dining-retail-bar hodgepodge permeating the Washington Avenue corridor, but a quick walk inside relieves any misgivings.
