COM LAX COMES TO NEEDHAM, MA   I am not a mall shopper.  I love to shop in Needham, MA.  Shopping Needham is what I want to do.  There are some great shops and now a new one that my son told me about today.  It is Com LAX and it is located right across from Bertucci’s Restaurant and next to Needham Nails in that little strip mall.  So glad!  I suspect that not too many people know about the store.  Of course, I want to get the word out and the young men who helped me were terrific.  http://www.comlax.com/ I have been searching for a lacrosse head online and could not find it.  At Com Lax they found it for me in 2 seconds flat.  I am already in love with that store.  What a great addition to Needham.  This saved me hours of either online shopping or driving from store to store.  It was g...

There isn't really a BLACK FRIDAY for real estate but it is a great time to negotiate the sale of a property.  I have to say the last place I would want to be is out shopping on Black Friday from the news of injuries and crazy goings on.  i prefer to shop online on CyberMonday.  If you are shopping for real estate you can start with cyberspace but you really have to venture out to see the home and it's location.  If you are up for a real estate shopping spre...

  Enchanted Village at Jordan's Furniture Avon, MA                                                                                   The Spirit of Boston’s Holidays Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, Jordan Marsh displayed the Enchanted Village in its Downtown Crossing store. The heart-warming display quickly became an integral part of New England’s seasonal celebrations. Until 1972, when Jordan Marsh closed the display, a trip to The Village was a traditional event. A Tradition in JeopardyThe Enchanted Village remained closed from 1972 until its rebirth in 1990. Then, in 1998, when Macy’s purchased Jordan Marsh, the Village was sold to the City of Boston for a City Hall Plaza display. In 2003, a lack of funding forced the Village to move to the Hynes Convention Center. By 2006, B...
