THE SECRET IS OUT: Bob's Famous Foodmart is about to become even more famous. I've tried to keep a secret about the 289 Park Street business, but it's about to leak out. When my mom was in Copley, I needed to get quick lunches when I visited. I'd go to Bob's and get amazing lunches—from meatloaf to steak tips to chicken parmesan, with all the side fixings.

BURCHELL'S JEWELRY MOVES TO CANTON: My favorite place to get a new battery for my watch has left town, but isn’t going far. Burchell's Jewelry Store opened in 1978 at 1819 Park Street. Current owner Alex Zvagin, who studied art restoration in his native St. Petersburg, Russia, learned the craft of jewelry making when he moved to Boston. He provided jewelry services to a number of retailers before taking over the Stoughton location 16 years ago. Many customers will miss Jacques, Zvagin's giant dog who greeted customers on Park Street. Alex told About Town that the building he was in on Park St. was being sold and he was forced to relocate. He landed at 575 Washington Street in Canton Center. Zvagin said, "Canton has been good for me. …
