OT: Any of you live near Natick?

[Paesano]

You've got a Wegmans!!!

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

No

 

[auggie22]

I don’t, though my wife and I looked at a house in Natick after my first was born ( prob 2013 or 2014 ). One of the kids bedrooms had some Husky paraphernalia and a husky stuffed animal. I told my wife we had to buy the house so I could meet the owners.

Live in the general area within 15 miles of Natick and we have a Wegmans in our town. But, I have to say I'm not that impressed except for their package store. They do offer a good selection at good prices for beer and wine. Other than that and maybe a trip for produce, I pretty much shop elsewhere.

 

[rjw04001]

Natick resident here. Wife is very excited about the wegmans. Can’t imagine more traffic at the Natick mall though

 

[HooperScooper]

Live relative close. Already go to the Wegmans in Northborough once in a while. The one in Natick is going to be mobbed. I will stay away until the crowds aren't as bad. Since it's in the Natick Mall I can't even imagine what it will be like between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My cousin lives in Natick. No disrespect but it’s the worst place in the Northeast.

Hyperbole maybe. But it’s an awful place.

Never been to a Wegmans, do they offer sex or something there?

I'm curious, why do you think that? I don't live there but it's not that bad. Route 9 kinda stinks but other than that it's not a bad town.

You answered your question in this post.

Food sex.

The Route 9 area is literally about 5% of the town. So because Route 9 goes through the town it's an awful place? O.K.

 

[Penfield]

I go to Wegmans in Medford. It has become our go to store at this point. Having to go to the Natick Mall to go grocery shopping sounds miserable though

I work just down the road from that Wegman's and live about 8 miles away. Been there once, it's okay. My wife is tied to Market Basket. Prices are the lowest of any store, lots of variety in their fruits & vegetables and they're so busy that the food turns over very quickly so it's always fresh. I know it's a little rough around the edges and can get crazy busy, but we deal with it.

Mine too. As long as she can avoid rush hour, she shoots into the one in Waltham.

Live in Burlington and Wegmans opened their store here about 2 yrs ago. Between Burlington and Woburn we have 2 Market Baskets, a Stop and Shop, a Shaws, a Trader Joes, a Whole Food and a Wegmans. So plenty of choices all within 5 miles.

The Metrowest Area has several Wegmans now. Northborough has one, and either Norwood or Westwood as well. They put the Northborough one in a fairly new plaza off of Rt 20. which has a BJs, so I find it a giant pain to get in and out of there.

As others said, aside from the booze/beer selection, and maybe the pre-prepared foods, I don't see the benefit.

 

[KembaStepback]

Isnt there a Twinkie factory in Natick?

 

[J187Money]

My son goes to school in Weston. I try as hard as I can to avoid Natick. Everything is super crowded.

Used to be. After Hostess went bankrupt they sold it and it was razed to expand the Natick Mall.

When Hostess used to make Natick smell good

I was joking...I thought it was a bit from Family Guy...

There was (probably still is) a Nabisco factory on Route 1/Roosevelt blvd in Northeast Philly. I could tell where I was based on the smell of graham crackers.

You need to expand your culinary domain. The choices available are amazing but only if you choose them.

Yup, smell was incredible but nope... closed in 2015? and being redeveloped. Think they left the taller of the buildings where they used to bake the cookies. As a newbie working down there on a project I was like - what is that smell (it was clearly unlike any of the other normal North Philly/Delaware River smells)
