John Prescott's The MetWest Scene Rant, Rave, Burn Like A Star…Flame Up! Posted on October 16, 2008 by bostonkayakguy Economy? Bailout? Credit Crunch? Or maybe it’s about the guy who cut you off on the highway, the rude customer service rep, or the long wait at the doctor’s office. Then again, it could be the guy who didn’t call you, the sorority which didn’t pledge you, or the professor who gave you a low grade.

Posted on October 10, 2008 by bostonkayakguy People are losing their homes. Some are losing their retirement funds. LOST And recently Wellesley College “lost” a multimillion dollar Leger painting that may have been thrown out in the trash.
Fernand Leger Painting, Woman & Child And now it seems that Shreve, Crump and Low in the Chestnut Hill Mall has “lost” a pair of diamond earrings. They don’t know when and they don’t know how, but they only discovered it when a gemologist told them they had a pair of cubic zirconia earrings masquerading as the real thing. … (0 comments)

- 10/08/08 09:10 AM
Wellesley has long been a home to female educational institutions. Witness Wellesley College and Dana Hall School. Once upon a time, Pine Manor had its roots here and Elizabeth Seton provided women with a stellar education at the site now occupied by Massachusetts Bay Community College. Wellesley College Empowerment *courtesy Elke Ehininger While the benefits of same sex education have been debated throughout the decades, it is apparent that these institutions have an illlustrious track record. And the alumnae and students are consistently forthright about the educational environment enabling them to succeed and not be held back by gender. Sexism however … (0 comments)

The obliteration of the financial markets has consumers turning to alternative sources for their retail therapy. Consignment shops and second-hand stores save money, reduce the carbon footprint, and encourage people to live "green" through recycling.
Wellesley's very own consigment shop gets a nod, in "Thrifty and Nifty."
Turnabout Shoppe West of the city, the Turnabout Shoppe (30 Grove St., Wellesley, 781-237-4450) is a mecca for high-end consignment... - Boston.com
