This Is Framingham

This Is Framingham
Life in the 'ham

Wilkomen!

August 11th, 2006


When I was a kid, this building used to be some kind of New England Telephone space, I’m not sure what they did in there but I remember there used to be a giant telephone in the bay window that I thought was Lily Tomlin’s phone.
I forget  what it was after that, but Borders bookstore was the last occupant and they got kicked out which stinks because they were the less obnoxious bookstore. Now we have to go to Barnes and Noble next to it, which I used to avoid.  Of course if I like it, it goes away (see post below)

I was driving down Rt. 9 yesterday and noticed an orange banner on the building for the Halloween Outlet. 
Most people probably don’t care about H.O. setting up shop here but Halloween is my most favorite all-time holiday.  Even though I can’t trick or treat anymore, I love carving jack-o-lanterns and giving treats to the witches and monsters that come to my door.
I was SO happy to finally see a cool business move into town, even if it is only seasonal.  When I saw the sign I actually gasped with excitement and thought “YEAH man!” Silly?  Maybe, but so are most of the retail inhabitants of Route 9 so I think I can be excited about a fun, small business moving in.

Welcome Halloween Outlet, I’ve been waiting for you! Mwahh-haa-haaa!

  2. Closing Borders was just the next step in the destruction of 80’s Framingham. If I had a time machine, and could travel through time and space to go anywhere, I would go get an appartment in 1986 Framingham. I would get a job at Loews Cineplex Natick and spend my afternoons at classic Shopper’s World buying 80’s action figures.

  6. Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!

    I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

  15. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any
    interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  18. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know
    a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message
    home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog.
    A great read. I will definitely be back.

  19. Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine
    Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results.

    If you know of any please share. Cheers!
