McMurphy's Uptown Tavern to move into their new location in March! The plan is to vacate their current location during spring break week & open their new location across the street. So sadly only a few weeks remain to visit their legendary location before they vacate it for good.

CVS one of the few corporate franchisees in downtown Amherst is the only place downtown that had not cleared the snow from in front of their building or the walkway into their building. (As of 2pm) maybe it’s a marketing plan, slip & fall outside, then come in & buy first aid 😂

Amherst Typewriter Shop next to McMurphy’s was being cleaned out today into a van & will soon be empty in preparation for both places to be demolished.

They will still not serve food. Before opening in the new location new signs & some actetic work will need to be done to the inside (painting, cleaning, small repairs) they will also have a pool table. The new location is expected to open the first quarter or so of 2026. 3/3 🛑

@TheCursiveU @dpdoughamherst The typewriter store is also getting torn down. That store has not been open for a while. It’s been well over a year, maybe longer since they have been open.
