But at least it's not going to sit vacant. College classrooms downtown will add to the vibrancy of the area hopefully. Speaking of closings, what happened to Brazzille on Hollis Street? It's been dark for a while now. That was one of the brightest spots on the downtown dining scene, and a cool place to hang out even for just a drink and the music. With the opening of Amazing Things across the street the future was looking pretty good for that end of downtown. But how about the positive aspects of downtown? With Amazing Things, the Chicken Bone, the Happy Swallow, and Bruburger's, all within walking distance of each other, it's the live music capital of MetroWest.

As sad as that is, I do believe Mass Bay is a great buyer for that property, and I'm glad the CIvic League will continue to exist as an organization. Although I pastor a church located in Framingham's downtown - right behind the Chicken Bone! - and I have no problem with churches locating in downtown areas, I agree that downtown Framingham IS overwhelmed with churches to the "saturation point" as some folks might say! This may shock some folks, but I also was glad that the Civic League property will not become a church building.
