Another note to long - time Framinghamites, that site is also within a few feet of the old Dixie Lee Diner, run by the Scagnelli Family.

The "Dome" was where the brazilian bakery is located across from the train station. I never knew it to be a steakhouse, however, it was a divey bar. JSM is correct.

The building behind it is now Republic Building Supply, at the time of the picture Republic would have been a Supermarket. In the early 80’s it was a bar called The Dome, I remember it being a used car dealer after that. I am not Downtown a lot any more, but I believe it is the Magic Oven now. http://thisisframingham.com/?p=217 If my memory serves me correctly, it is Downtown, on 135, across from the empty stretch between the old and new train stations.

He tells me that Philbrook's was on Rt 9 somewhere near Farley's Meadows at the time. He could not remember the exact spot.
