- 03/30/10 03:09 PM
Needham, MA Olin College & Some Super Restaurants Before I tell you about Olin College dining services I want to go back to the 1930's. At that time my husband's uncle and family lived right there where the campus was. The original administration building was their actual house. There is a lot of history right there but especially for my husband's family. There his uncle not only raised his family that to this day enjoy showing and riding horses, they also started the fence business my husband has worked in for 40+ years. The business was relocated to Framingham and now … (3 comments)

We are at the eleventh hour and they are still posturing and it the deadline is looming close.

The tax credit created so much activity … (0 comments)

wellesley: The Stock Dividends & Herbie McIntosh
- 03/13/08 07:31 AM
Now I came to Needham in 1965. There was a town resident named Herbie McIntosh (originally spelled MacIntosh). Herbie was quite old when I first saw him walking up Great Plain Avenue from his home close to the Wellesley line. He would walk closer to the ground, it seemed every time I saw him. He would walk to the Post Office in the center of town and side on the large window sill in the old post office on Chestnut Street. As he sat opening mail, which was one dividend after another, as the story goes. It would be 5 … (1 comments)

- 01/26/08 02:43 PM
Yesterday I took a course and some of the attendees had some funny stories I thought I would share a couple of them while I still remember them. The first one goes like this: The agent went to give her market analysis to the owner. He said that the 2-Family was worth at least a million. Her price was half that. He insisted he would take nothing less. The background on this house was that he had a large snake in apartment, rats in the basement and in the rented apartment an ex-con. The second story was an animal story as well. These … (5 comments)
