Sad news today regarding the imminent bankruptcy and anticipated demise of Brigham's as a going concern. Fortunately, the ice cream is still available (Hood bought the recipes and the brand name, and continues to make a pretty tasty mocha almond), and there are also a few franchise stores around (the one on Mass. Ave. in Arlington Heights, for instance, is not affected). Still, it's a shame. Here's my modest contribution in limerick form, along with a couple of photos of the Mill Street restaurant in Arlington. Drop your contributions in the comments!
Seems like Brigham's will need a pallbearer;
its bankruptcy's the end of an era.
Other stores will be manned which
serve cones or a sandwich,
but you can't get a frappe at Panera.
