This Is Framingham

I have heard good things about Bronzetti’s pizza.  I was told they bought the recipe from the Union House and make those pizza’s there and that they’re excellent, so of course we had to try it.

Bronzetti’s is not a place I would normally think of going to, it’s kind of the unofficial restaurant of the Econo Lodge which it seems to be attached to.
Inside is a no frills sports bar, but I really like the lacquered wood bar that includes the tree bark all around the perimeter.  There are pool tables and “4-top” tables with castered chairs to sit and eat at .  I also liked the wood paneled walls and that the place is entirely lit by hanging glass lamps.

We got the pizza home and wasn’t sure what to think at first because it was messy looking but it was delicious. 

The dough is crunchy on the edges but just chewy enough everywhere else.  It’s almost like there’s butter in the dough, the sauce and cheese were great too, all together it’s a great pizza! casino 888 login
Ethan was so impressed with the pizza he suggested getting it again the next night, so we did. ???  
A definite “yay” for the pizzaquest!

Star House (595 Waverly St.) was highly recommended by several people who admitted it looks a little bit like a dive from the outside but said the food is excellent.
We went in to look at the take out menu and I was surprised that it looked so different than what I thought it would be like. ivermectine chien rcp   We were just getting take out but it was comfortable enough to sit down and eat in too.

We ordered our food and as we ordered the woman behind the counter repeated each item.  Unfortunately, when we got home we found out that even though she repeated after us “steamed scallops and vegetables” and “chicken with mushrooms” we got two orders of chicken with vegetables.  I contemplated calling them about it but at 6pm on a weeknight we didn’t feel like dealing with traffic downtown to get a new order.  It was fine for what it was but it wasn’t exaclty what we ordered. ivermectin horse wormer dosage for dogs

Ethan got some sort of spicy chickenand shrimp and we also got an order of chicken wings, beef teriyaki and crab rangoons. 

Everything was pretty decent.  The crab rangoons were a little dry though. ivermectin buy online
They seem like nice people and the food is okay but we may have gone there on an off night.

When I was a student at Framingham State this building was painted bright purple and called the “Psychedelic Emporium” (9 Main st.).  I never went in there (I really didn’t) but I know they sold bongs and other marijuana accessories- BUT, they had to call everything “tobacco” accessories.
I remember driving by with a classmate of mine who was a pot smoker and even he shook his head and said “that building must bring the property value down around here by thousands of dollars”. uno rules That’s a pretty strong statement for a non-homeowner-pot-smoking-college-student to say about this place.
I guess they got busted, someone must have asked for a bong and the person behind the counter didn’t say “we don’t have bongs, just “tobacco pipes” and instead said “oh sure, right this way, we have a great selection of bongs. What? What’d I say wrong?”.  I don’t know if that’s exactly how it went down but I heard it was something along that line.
I had to actually look up the permits for this address to remember the name of this place, for the life of me I couldn’t remember it.  I kept thinking it was something like “House of Bong” but of course I knew it couldn’t be that.  Anyway, I thought it was funny that the license type listed in the permit for this store was “JUNK – JUNK DEALER LICENSE”. ????? ??? ??????
To the best of my knowledge this building hasn’t been used as anything since.  Maybe some stoners put a curse on the building but according to work permits looks like a couple of construction permits were filed last month so maybe something new will finally go in there. ????? ???

On my way to work this morning I noticed that the broken windows at the game corner (at Davis and Grant st.)were finally boarded up.  As I posted before, I wonder who owned this place and why a bunch of arcade games are just sitting in there collecting dust.  I think it was in November I noticed someone smashed the glass in the window and door. ???? ??????? ?? ?????????   It was left like that all winter so I began to wonder if anyone even owned this part of the building anymore. ??????? ???? 2023    I just hope the owner doesn’t consider this a long-term fix and at least replaces the windows – if not clean the place up and open the arcade : ) I know it’s highly unlikely but I’d love for this place to be re-opened.

I forget when this bridge was closed but it’s been a while, like 10 years maybe or maybe it just seems like 10 years I’m trying to think when I last drove over this bridge if it was when I was at Framingham State or after I graduated- either way it’s been a long time.

I like this bridge and that Main St. is a nice way to get from Edgell Rd. the Ski Market plaza or just to get to Rt. 9.
They are working on it now, I’m assuming they will open it up to vehicle traffic when they’re done but even if they decide not to (stranger things have happened), it is nice to just walk on the bridge and look at the Sudbury River.   Sometimes I’ll walk to Trader Joes or Whole Foods and stop at the bridge and hang out for a few minutes.  There are so many trees and birds you can forget you are a stones throw from route 9. 

This construction extends to route 9, which I forgot even goes over the river, until the cones and medians went up last winter and the lanes have been altered/reduced in this area.

I don’t know how long this will take but I think it will be worth it.  I’m really looking forward to getting this bridge and street open again.

Ethan’s family came down from NH and took us to Samba (1138 Worcester Rd.) for a joint-birthday dinner.
I was kind of iffy about this place since I’ve heard mixed reviews but decided to try it anyway.
Inside looks much different than the outside, very modern.
When you walk in you can either go downstairs to the hibachi tables or up to the bar/lounge area.

We all got something from the hibachi menu (although you can order sushi to eat at those tables too) Ethan’s brother started off with a sashimi appetizer.  I tried some of it and it was great, had a great texture and was very fresh. does ivermectin kill adult fleas

Soon after that we were served our salads that come with the meal.

It’s is mainly iceberg with a dressing that most Japanese places serve that I can’t really tell what it’s made out of but I think it has ginger in it.  Our energetic chef arrived and after going around the table to make sure he had everyone’s orders right (clucking after he said “chicken”) he started the show. ivermectina serve para piolhos e lêndeas
He started off with a little fire across the cooking surface and then started making the fried rice flipping things in the air and cutting the egg and vegetables with rhythmic chops. 
 

 
As with most hibachi places the chef would explain ingredients like soy sauce as “Japanese Coca-Cola!”  He had a good mix of silliness and skill, he told Ethan’s sister she looked hungry so he scooped up one pea and put it on her plate.
The last thing he cooked was the bean sprouts and since it was a birthday dinner he cut a lemon and half and stuck a match in it.
One he was done he said “enjoy”, took a minute to clean up and rolled his cart away.
The food was really good, I got salmon and Ethan got steak.  They aren’t the best pictures and I took them before the bean sprouts were put on there but this is basically what you get. Both the salmon and the steak were cooked perfectly and the rest of Ethan’s family said their meals were wonderful.

Also, the chef cooks 3 shrimp per person and gives them as an appetizer. kaufen ivergot   We really enjoyed ourselves here and I was glad everyone had a good time because I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I don’t know why but the words “yes no stop go” always come into my head when I go through the rotary downtown.  It doesn’t make much sense but sometimes neither does the way people drive at this intersection.
It’s the law that drivers in the rotary have the right of way but so many times I will be in the rotary and someone will just sail though coming from Union or Concord St. and I’ll have to stop for them OR I will be waiting to enter the rotary (with smoothly flowing traffic, not gridlock) and someone already in it will stop and motion for me to go which stops traffic behind them.  While I appreciate the gesture (I really do), I hate to condone stopping the flow of the rotary traffic when it’s not necessary.
Then there is the driver who I call “the plug”, they get into the rotary just enough to block the flow of traffic even though they see two exits in is backed up.  People who would be exiting one opening to their right now get to watch them talking on their phone or just ignoring the fact they’re stopping people from getting out.  I know there are those who really didn’t know they were going to that but there are others who just want to secure their spot and pull up when they shouldn’t.

BUT, I kind of like how the rotary looks.  It’s lightly landscaped, compliments the greenery outside the Memorial building and in theory, I think it’s a nice alternative to traffic lights which, as seen at Concord and Lincoln, can be just as frustrating.
