    Excellent schools. Commutes to Boston from the north or south can be slow. But from Newton, on the Mass Pike, fast. MBTA Green Line, buses, and commuter rail available.
  • Star Market, just me (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    They rebuilt it in 2009 to add a second floor, except now the entire market is on the second floor and storage & other stores on ground level.
  • Showcase Superlux, just me (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    It became Macy's and is now closed (mid-2011). No idea who will move into the empty building. It was RH Stearns long, long ago.
