Is Jamaica Plain losing Boomerangs?
Written by William Brokhof on February 3rd, 2009Boomerangs is an award-winning resale store based in Jamaica Plain. Even better, all of our proceeds support the great programs and services of the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. Since 1996, we have been selling a vast array of finds and treasures, and specialize in new and vintage clothing for men, women, and children as well as gifts, housewares, electronics and furniture.
Hold on! Don’t freak out! I don’t want to get accused of starting a rumor, but after I read a couple of blurbs on the net I’m a little nervous. I found this on the

Boomerangs looking at filling old Decelle’s store

On Monday night the West Roxbury Main Streets board will be hearing from representatives from Boomerangs about the possibility of moving into the old Decelle’s spot (1870 Centre Street), which has been vacant for some time.
From Boomerangs’ Web site:
Boomerangs is an award-winning resale store based in Jamaica Plain. Even better, all of our proceeds support the great programs and services of the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. Since 1996, we have been selling a vast array of finds and treasures, and specialize in new and vintage clothing for men, women, and children as well as gifts, housewares, electronics and furniture.
WRMS Board President Nick Anastasopoulos said Boomerangs is seriously considering moving into the second and third floor for retail space.
An even more vague piece was posted at Universal Hub:
West Roxbury could get socially conscious second-hand store
Wicked Local West Roxbury reports Boomerangs, which resells stuff to benefit the AIDS Action Committee, is looking to move into the long closed Decelle’s.
What’s this world coming to? I truly hope the rents on Centre Street aren’t pushing these folks out. It’s going to look pretty bad for us to have so many empty storefronts. Currently CD Spins, Countrywide, Foot Locker, 3 places down on South Street and now Boomerangs? I hope I’m wrong. Drop a line if you hear any news…

Have no fear, Boomerangs is staying in JP! I work for AIDS Action Committee and I know the scoop. We love JP and plan to stay there. But we are looking to possibly expand with a new, 2nd location. And, yes, West Roxbury is a possible place for for that second store.
