This Is Framingham

We got a card in the mail for a free trial of BJ’s Wholesale Club and tonight decided to go see what bounty awaited us in giant isles of food and household goods.
It was nice and quiet tonight, I think the last time I was at a BJ’s with my mom it was pretty crazy, but I guess all stores are on the weekend.
I don’t know why, but I kind of like the warehouse feel.  Maybe because it’s so big and spacious and you can see so many products at the same time (even if you can’t reach them).

We walked up and down the isles looking around and I have to say that it is pretty temping to just get a giant box of Cheez-its or a variety pack of Good Humor ice cream novelties.  They do have some produce too which we got a big bag of  mixed salad but othe than that I didn’t feel anything was that great of a savings.

Things were decently priced but not really worth it unless you really did want a 5lb bag of baby carrots.  We got some laundry soap, chicken, the salad, and went all out and got a Chef Boyardee single serve variety pack (I know the Beefaroni will be the first to go).  Nothing we couldn’t get as a regular grocery store but like I said, it’s just nice to walk around and see what they have and since we have a trial membership we’ll probably go here once again before it expires.

I thought this sign on Winter St. was kind of funny because it looks like the “way” in “driveway” was added after the sign was put up.  I wonder why.  Maybe some people didn’t know what else “Blind Drive” meant and would blindfold themselves when they passed this sign.

I guess it’s been weeks now since I took this picture but Ethan and I have walked by here a few times and noticed this residential building being constructed, and now finished, downtown on Beech St.
I was curious enough to go on the website posted on the sign out front and I was impressed.  It looks like a nice set up.
I wish them luck, especially in this market selling the units here but I just thought I’d share this since it’s kind of easy to miss unless you’re going down that street.  I hope if these sell, more developers will build nice residences in the area that are multi-family but not cramming as many units as they can into the building.

This is an old car dealership on Rt. 135 in front of Walgreen’s.  I don’t know much about it except that it has been vacant for a couple of years and someone fought to save it from being torn down because they considered and proved this is a historical building worth saving. does ivermectin treat tapeworms
I’m all for saving historic structures, Ethan and I have traveled around the country to photograph old buildings, but I don’t really “get” this one.  I honestly don’t mean to offend the person who fought to have it saved and I commend their efforts but, I would never have guessed by looking at it that there are any overly impressive qualities about it. ivermectin side effects bnf   The fact that it has been sitting vacant for some years doesn’t help either but maybe someday some business will move in or someone can enlighten me on it’s history and I’ll have more of an appreciation for it. ivermectina é bom

Walking home tonight we passed by Sullivan Tire, who set up a cute display of tires in honor of the Olympics.

I spent the past few days in the lovely White Mountains in NH.  We also took a trip to Weirs Beach where they have a waterslide and I noticed an orange(ish) trailer in the parking lot.

Upon further inspection:

I don’t think they have a store up there but maybe just sell out of the trailer for bike week or something. Anyway, it was kind of funny to see something Framingham related up there and reminded me that eventually I want to go in the store and buy a big belt buckle.

Walking by this sign the other day I noticed something funny:

The “Happy” from “Happy Car Cleaning” had been removed, it’s the same on the other side of the sign so the business probably changed their name but, I thought it looked funny.
