This Is Framingham

 Its easy to forget with all the heat we’ve had lately that plants are getting ready for the fall – or maybe our shrub is just dying but I think it does this every fall. 

My email isn’t working, I’m not sure what it is but it may be related to what happened the other day. I’m trying to figure it out.
So if you’ve written and I haaven’t responded yet, that’t why.
Sorry, hopefully it’ll be straightened out soon.

I wanted to like this place, and I guess it’s ok but they don’t really have anything I want. Just cookies that look old and what looks to be an interesting deli counter although I’m not a big deli person.  I did get some lox there once, which was really good but is randomly available, When I asked them if they had whitefish salad the lady behind the counter didn’t know what I was talking about.  They also have beer and vodka and chocolate and a bunch of other stuff.

They don’t acknowledge you or seem to want you in there if you don’t speak Russian got the Skazka out of there.  I’ve actually stood in front of the door pondering if I should go in there again but so far I haven’t made it back inside.

Unfortunately someone hacked the server for the blog and I won’t get into the whole ordeal of getting everything back but I lost my last few posts including “pizza quest: Francos”. 
I’ll try to repost about Francos but for now I’ll just re-cap our trip to Pepperoncini’s.

We were lured in by the $5 pizza on Tuesdays and Sundays.
I haven’t been in here since it was the red star pub, which was kind
of a dive (but I like dives) and this place is more family friendly, which is fine too.
We started off with the boneless buffalo wings which were really good because they were crunchy.
The sauce was really good, I was surprised they had such good wings. dosis de ivermectina para escabiosis
We also split a ridiculous looking drink for 2 that made me glad we walked there.
Then comes the pizza. I think “ok” is the most accurate description I can give. 
Itsmelled just like Papa Gino’s and tasted very similar.  I think  for a large is a decent deal though, we couldn’t finish it and took it home. ivermectin cream   We found the suspicious looking pizza chef on the box an interesting choice for a box cover though.

I’m guessing this mural just rakes in the sales at Stardust Diamonds.  I thought they would take it down after DeBeers stopped using their eerie silhouette ads in the mid-90’s but here we are in 2006 and there’s no sign of it getting painted over.
I know if I were younger I’d definitely have nightmares about this wall.  There’s something about these phantom-like shadows with giant, senselessly floating jewelry that’s disturbing to me.

The whole wall is weird but the one that would definitely give me nightmares is the weird twisted-torso bald-alien-lady hugging herself behind a hovering ring.  I’ve though too much about how that’s supposed to be appealing.  It’s like a riddle with no answer!

I don’t have much to say about this, but I’ll bet the person who lives here has a type A personality.  I wonder if some guy found the perfect way to watch the game in his lay-z-boy AND flip burgers at the same time.
Someday I hope to walk by and see an arm with a spatula emerging from the window.  (I will post if I do!)

This place has been a familiar sight on Rt. 9 since I can remember, yet I’ve never been inside. I remember when my sister and I were little we were puzzled because we couldn’t tell if the store was called “Walter Dyer is Leather” or if Walter Dyer was actually a guy made out of leather (creepy!). It was also fun to shout out “Big Bad Bootery! ?????? ???? 2023 “ when we drove by.  Even now Ethan has heard me mutter “bigbadbootery” in the car when we pass it. ?????? ??? ??? ?????  You’d think for the sake of the blog I’d go in there and check it out but I just can’t.  Not because I don’t think they have good stuff, but I don’t want to ruin the vision of what I think it must look like inside.  I always pictured it looking like a saloon out of the old west with a second floor balcony and playing Bob Seger on the radio. ???? ???   I just like to keep that part of my childhood to connect with and going in there would end the mystique of what it’s like inside. BUT, if anyone is looking for leather products I think you should go. It looks like they have some good stuff.  Who knows, maybe someday I’ll finally go in there and get a big belt buckle or something.
