Sad news for Tosci's fans

State seizes ice cream firm over back taxes

Farewell, Chocolate No. 3, Orange Chocolate, Nocciola, Grapenut Raisin, Vienna Finger Cookie, Butter Chip, Cake Batter, and at least 50 other flavors I've had since I first arrived in Massachusetts more than 20 years ago. It sounds like Gus has no one to blame here but himself, but I'm still incredibly sad to see this happen.

I don't know to whom you're talking, but Gus was always a prince to me and to BS-squared (and we were not the easiest people to be nice to). The Tech did numerous promotions with Toscanini's, and I'd get a big hello and friendly conversation anytime I visited if Gus was in the back (and if I were in town long enough, he'd make me a batch of White Chocolate, my favorite). BS-squared said it seemed to him that Gus's heart wasn't in it the past few years, but he seemed his old self to me last year (he was talking about advising on a new store to open on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, but I never heard more about it).
