SOMERVILLE - A bigger, better Union Square Donuts is poised to reopen near its short-lived original location. The doughnut shop says it will reopen on Friday, May 3, at 8AM, sharing space with Cafe Tango at 16 Bow Street. Customers on Friday will get free doughnut holes with their purchases, and it looks like there could be a strawberry rhubarb beer jam doughnut in the works. [Facebook]
