We took a walk down Union Ave tonight and saw this very cool Mike Myers display. I’m a Jason girl myself, but I thought this was awesome and actually would like to look into how to get a figure that looks that good in our yard (Ethan agreed as long as it’s not up year round.)
Mike also looks especially spooky at night!
We were driving down Rt 9 this weekend and noticed the signs at this year’s location for the Halloween outlet at the old Saab dealership.
From the east-bound side:
I thought it was slightly interesting that they chose another Tudor style building like they did 2 years ago at the old Border’s Books building. I think they skipped a Framingham location last year, maybe because we got Halloween Express (which was awesome) but glad to see they’re back and interested to see what they do with the space inside.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the summer. I like out-door swimming, waking up to daylight, ice cream at the beach, not having to bundle up when I leave the house, etc… but as some readers know, Halloween is my favorite holiday and I get a small thrill out of seeing the first appearences of Halloween products for the season. Such as this simple display at the Stop & Shop on Old Connecticut Rd. I saw last night.
Not full blown Halloween but we see some nice autumn colors and the m&m’s suggest a little creepyness. No bad for mid-summer.
Walking through the downtown library, I saw a nice display of Halloween products made by the old Dennison paper product factory here in Framingham.
I thought it was interesting to see these old designs. From what I saw the displayed peices were dated from 1918-30’s. Just something worth checking out if you’re in the library.
Last night we went to Halloween Express which has taken over the space at 303 Worcester Rd.
This place is great, it’s huge inside and has everything you could possibly want for Halloween, costumes, wigs, props, decorations, party stuff, life-size animated ghouls etc..
A very impressive selection and the staff there were happy to help with any questions. There was a glowing, blinking pair of eyes you can put in a shrub that we could have got if we still had this giant shrub next to our front door but I got some good ideas for decorations just walking around. I’ll definitely be back in the next couple of weeks!
It seemed like it took a long time for the new Walgreens on 624 Waverly St. to open. I didn’t even realize it was open until I thought of checking up on it’s progress.
It’s right on the outskirts of downtown, but I think it’s a great addition to the area, it’s an alright looking building, that is clean and a store that I have business going to.
I was impressed with their Halloween display, complete with hanging caged ghouls.
Most impressive was their drink selection. I think they had every drink that is currently available (except TAB) Little things like that really make a difference (especially when I’m thirsty)
I guess I have to say this is a “yay” even though it’s just a drug store, I’m glad it’s there and think it’s good for the area.
