This Is Framingham

This morning I was on Rt. 9 going by the old Shogun 9 that is now PC Healthstop (holding their seemingly endless grand opening) when all off the sudden I heard angels sing.  I stopped and upon closer inspection saw….THIS:

I couldn’t believe it.  Such a beautiful sight!
It was only last summer that Ethan and I got to know the awesomeness of Bronzetti’s pizza, over by the Temple St. part of Rt. 9, but sadly our new favorite treat silently disappeared in July. ???? ??????   The bar changed it’s name to something generic and, as others have commented, so did the pizza.  Oh Bronzetti’s, we hardly knew ye! babylon bet  

But now I can look forward to the day I will hold a slice of heaven to my lips once again!  Don’t let the messy looks fool you, with it’s light but chewy crust (and just enough crunch!) and melty goodness all over, this is pizza of the Gods. I normally avoid Rt. 9 but I will try to keep track of this progress and report when I find it up and running.  Maybe they can take over the “Grand Opening” sign from PC Healthstop to let us know. ??? ???? ?????? 2024

My friend Kristin signed up for an intermediate drawing class at the Danforth Museum.
The only problem is they need 2 more people to sign up for the class or it will be canceled.
I just wanted to post about this in case anyone might be interested. ivermectina precio pami

My mom loves comfortable shoes and one of the few things she doesn’t mind paying “good money” for are quality, comfortable shoes.  For her Hanukkah gift, I got her a gift certificate to Panza Shoes (downtown across from Town Hall).
Mom usually looks for a wide shoe and Panza specializes in special sizes like narrow, wide etc…

When I went in there to get the gift certificate the guys working there were really nice and 30 minutes after I came in there I found myself sitting  down with them in the customer chairs comparing notes on Framingham restaurants.

When I said I was pleasantly surprised that this place seemed to be doing well, the manager said they get regular people that come from all over metrowest, newton and further because of their shoe selection.  He said old ladies that bought their shoes here 50 years ago now bring their grandchildren.  I noticed the whole time I was there that they knew every customer by name and would ask how their families are.  The guys said they think of it as “Cheers” because people come in and don’t just buy shoes, they sit for a while and tell them about all sorts of things going on in their life. ivermectin 1 50 ml   The manger said Panza prides it’s self on this and that “This is a sit down, take your time and find the right shoe kind of place.  If you just want a pair of shoes, go to the mall”. coupons for ivermectin     They seem to be so confident in their product and service that they don’t feel the need to update their decor.  They joked about that and said the only thing that changes in the store are the shoes.

It’s funny that this should be such a unique experience but I really feel like this is a little time capsule gem that we’re lucky to have downtown.  I’m looking forward to going with my mom to get the whole shoe fitting experince : )

The Danforth Museum’s school is having a sale of work done by it’s students and faculty.  I went by the other day and saw some great stuff.

Here’s look at some of the things for sale:

The Framingham Civic League is holding a haunted house on Halloween night. This is right down the street from me and I’ve never been there yet so it’s a nice opportunity to check it out.
Here’s their flyer if anyone is interested:
 

I made a previous post about Skazka. I found it to be cold and unwelcoming there but they have such good lox that on occasion I go in there and a couple of days ago I had a decent experience there so I decided to post again about this place. ?????? ?????   
I’ll start off with the wine selection that was pretty extensive for a small shop.  I picked out a Transylvanian Pinot Noir as a novelty item for my Halloween  party. “Vampire”!

Next, I was in luck (since it is not always available) that they had the lox  I like. ??? ???? ????  

This time the woman behind the counter was friendly and offered to tell me about how good this salmon is and how they get it shipped up from NY and her husband goes down to NY himself to try out products they choose to carry in the store.
In addition to lox they have various smoked fish, deli and cheeses:
 

I’d like to make a note since someone on the previous post assumed I am ignorant to Russian culture not being as warm and friendly as others but I assure you, being of Russian decent I’m aware of it.  As a little girl I could be very intimidated by my own bubbie (who grew up in Russia), she just wasn’t the rainbow and unicorn type and that’s fine.  I was pleasantly surprised this time by the people though and now I look forward to going back.
