A farewell to Twin Donuts, an Allston institution closing after 70 years

The big neon Twin Donuts sign in Allston is a beacon to early-morning workers, hungover collegians and retirees alike.

The 70-year-old shop is known for its cheap omelets, hash browns and, of course, its donuts. But now, the folks who run it say the numbers just don't add up anymore. Twin Donuts is closing.

Stand-up comic Ken Reid joins WBUR's Morning Edition to lament the loss of a little piece of Boston's soul.
