Is Purity Cheese Closed?

Stopped by there yesterday, and the space is gutted. Are they remodeling, or is something new going in there?

    Yeah, the owner has to do a few years in the slammer, unfortunately (I loved their subs).

    But there's a new cheese shop (called The Cheese Shop I think) on Fleet Street where Tutto Italiano's used to be.

      the owner, "the cheeseman," is in jail and the place was seriously in the red.

        That's right - I forgot about that. That's too bad, I remember their fresh mozzarella being really great. Hopefully the bad smell isn't emanating from something under the floorboards that may have been on the losing end of an argument.
