This SUV parks all the time at the corner of Evergreen and Learned right at Framingham Union Hospital. It’s well past the “No parking from here to corner” sign and the other night I saw it finally got a ticket. Ambulances round this corner all the time I don’t know why this SUV feels it’s appropriate to create a difficult turn for them. The sign is there for a reason but they think it’s their private parking spot.Â
Just a little pet peeve of mine : )

We finally got to Gianni’s. Great pizza, I’d say one of the best so far. It’s an interesting operation. It was really busy and there were like 6 (maybe more?) guys behind the counter, all of them occupied doing something. Most people seemed to have called in their order and knew the drill which was to walk up to the counter and just say their first name, no “Hi, um, I called in an order, it’s under Smith”. It was just “Fred”, then one of the 6 guys would say “subs or pizza?” an exchange of money for food would be made and then it was on to the next first name.
I ordered our pizzas and one of the guys asked me for my name, said it would be 20 minutes and got back to work. ???? ????
We took a little stroll around Nobscot plaza while we waited. When we got back I peered through the people waiting at the counter and a the guy who took my order looked up and saw me and said “Just about 5 more minutes Michelle”. ????? ??? ???? I don’t know why but I was impressed by that, I’ve never been there before and he remembered my name instead of remembering just what I ordered. Maybe since all the other customers were such regulars I stood out because he never saw me before, I don’t know. ???? ?????
We got a plain and a Greek pizza, both very good:

You know what today is? It’s Ladies day at Monro Muffler! I’m going to put on a pretty dress and red lipstick and get my . ????? ??????? ?????? 99 oil change. Maybe I’ll stand in the bay door and put one hand on my hip and say “Say fellas, what does a girl have to do to around here to get her oil changed?” and they’ll say “Uh, you pay $11.99 and take a seat in one of those chairs outside- and why are you talking like Mae West? ?? ?? ????????? ??????? “Â

It is interesting though, I thought only bars used “ladies night” (or day) to get more female customers. I wonder if the guys fight over who gets to work Wednesdays. ?? ??? ????? ?????????

On my way home today I saw a Global gas station on Waverly street (rt. 135), that has gas for $2.79.
It’s right downtown next to Dunkin’ Donuts. Of course I have no idea about the quality of this gasoline but I’m sure it will make you car go.Â
Just thought I’d share.

I ride by this place everyday on my way to work, it’s an old arcade that still has the games just sitting in there, doing nothing- such a shame! I’d be wasting quarters here all the time if they were open since it’s so close to me but it looks like it’s been closed for a long time.
What’s the deal? Why keep these games just hanging around and why hasn’t the owner done anything with this space? I’d love to just be able to take a look around inside but all I can see are the tops of the games in the windows and they visually blocked off the doors. It’s so bizarre to me. I’d love to know the story behind this.
Maybe they’re waiting for a grand-re-opening : )
