The Boston real estate quote of the day is from a Boston real estate blog reader when asked by another reader: What happened to the 5 star restaurant at 45 Province???

The response from a blog reader named Batmarch:

You don’t put a five star restaurant in a three star building with a 1 star location.

A few updates on 45 Province Street. The Abbey Group announced that the Torit Language Center Montessori school will occupy two floors at the 45 Province luxury condominium tower.

According to the Abby Group, 45 Province Street has sold 42 luxury condos out of 137.

Ray Allen

The pain of Boston losing to the Heat (see L. James, above) is perhaps salved by being able to afford this pad in Washington State near Seattle.

Michael Jordan

The biggest name of all time in B-Ball also owns the biggest house. Sorry, mansion. No wait, still wrong again. Compound! I hope Michael Jordan adds a helicopter pad in the walled in dirt court yard  (see photo below). You know, for those unexpected midnight fans that might barge in.
