I know I’m late on this but for anyone who doesn’t know, Newton-Wellesley Hospital is looking to open a facility that will have 4 operating rooms and 4 procedure rooms at the former CompUSA site which ironicly was last used as the home of the Bodies exhibit.
It’s kind of odd that they would want to open a site in Framingham. stromectol over the counter This will be yet another tax expempt property here in town. ivermectin tablets chew or swallow I know people have their problems with it, but I’ve always had a good experience at Framingham Union although I have not been in the Emergency room for many years, which I hear most people have their problems. kaufen ivert
I feel that Newton-Wellesley is a respected medical facility and that’s great but I wonder if there is enough room for Framingham Union and Newton-Wellesley in the same town. I guess we’ll find out.

This morning we needed some ice melter for the driveway so I walked to CVS and saw a sign outside the Civic League (or what was the Civic League) that read “Shop Downtown”. I thought that was nice to suggest and I hope people do, but I have to admit, there are only a handful of stores that I go to downtown. CVS being the main draw (please don’t bail on us CVS!) and also other shops/restaurants I’ve posted about.
Everyone is different but for me, personally, I don’t go to a lot of the stores and services downtown but I wish I did, I just have no use for a lot of them (insurance offices, nail salons, wig shop, health care centers, Brazilian clothing/restaurants, churches, Latino record shop etc..) Nothing against Latino culture but I just don’t use these things. Just like my sister has no interest in thrift shops and I love them, or I think sushi is such a great treat and Ethan can’t stand it. Different things appeal to different people and I’d like to think that’s okay.
I keep thinking it would be great if downtown were more like Moody Street in Waltham with a great variety of resturants and shops so more people have something they’d like to check out. I wish I knew how to make that happen but for now, I really do enjoy having the places I do go to near by and I like to support downtown by going to those stores.

Last week we decided to try the subs at La Cantina, I got Eggplant Parm and Ethan got Chicken Parm. ????? ??? ???? At about each they come with choice of salad or fries (we got salad). ?????? ???????????
Chicken Parm:

Eggplant Parm:

These were both pretty good, not spectacular but definitely not a disappointment and what would be expected when getting a parm sub.
The highlight was the jar of sauce I got when we picked up the subs.
For what it’s worth, this jarred sauce is really good and I like that it’s just simple ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup or even sugar and it’s just a great tasting sauce. Ethan thought it was just okay but I recommend picking up a jar and trying it. ???? ??????
