This Is Framingham

I was walking by the old Fabric Place’s auxilary space on Concord St. and noticed a permit in the window and that the inside was cleaned out and getting worked on.  There was also a layout plan of the floor space and it seems like it’s going to be some kind of electronic store.

I went home and looked up the permit number to find out more details but it didn’t show up on the town’s permit search. So I did a search for all recent permits on Concord St. and Still nothing came up for this location but I did notice a bunch of permits for 101 Concord St. (Sampan’s current location) for serving alcohol, pool tables, live entertainment, coin-operated devices and amusement/show/exhibit under the name “Limey’s Pub”. 
 
It’s a little weird that it’ll be gone just because it’s been there for so many years but I think Limey’s Pub could be interesting and I’m looking forward to check it out when it opens.

I was reading an article in the MWDN about a proposed classy strip joint at the former Tin Alley Grill location.
I’m usually all for small business and it would be great to not have that building vacant but I feel like this isn’t going to do Framingham any favors since we have a little bit of a PR problem as it is.   But who knows, maybe it would be the most rootinist, tootinist strip club around! I feel  like it won’t get approved though and that would be fine with me.

The Framigham based company,  ReFoamIt is teaming up with Grace Congregational Church to hold a Styrofoam collection day.  They will also be collecting plastic flatware so if you have any of these things, bring it on down to 76 Salem End Rd on July 24th from 10am-3pm.  For more information check out http://www.refoamit.com and http://www.gracechurchucc.org

According to the MWDN, the AAA office next to Walgreens on Rt.9 will be offering RMV services to their members.  This is great since Ethan and I signed up for AAA last year and this great to know we can avoid going to the Mass Pike location in Natick to get license renewals.  Currently the old RMV downtown still remains vacant

The New England Museum Association runs an annual publication competition in several categories.  The Framingham History Center won the Judge’s Choice Award in the “Websites, Budget under $750,000″ category.
I’m not just happy because it’s where I work, but also that my husband Ethan was the web designer who created the site.  So, it was nice to have him get some kudos too!
