Lived in both Framingham and Norwood. Natick has a nicer town center than Framingham, if that matters to you and you like walk ability. Framingham has been Up and coming for the last 15 years, but maybe the new apartment complexes downtown will finally improve things. Most spots in Framingham will make a nicer commute to Marlborough either via route 9 or the pike.

BJs and Target are right near the on ramp in Framingham. You could alternatively hit Costco after work in Dedham. $2k-$3k should get you a nice place (I haven't rented in a while) and the only reason I'd pick Natick over Framingham would be proximity to something you particularly feel the need to be close to (like a better town center).

My wife just got back from Target (Westwood) Sunday and said no kids tylenol or Motrin. I guess we're lucky both kids are on the back end of being sick now.

Even if you wanted to, there isn't anywhere in relatively close distance where you could realistically do it. Express Train to MHT or PVD might make them viable options.

It is a sad use of what would now be quite valuable real estate. Including homes under the flight path that are now less valuable.

Jimmy Carter killed his reputation by wearing a sweater on TV and asking people to turn down the thermostat a few degrees.

Using less is the only real, honest solution, but we'll run out of fuel long before anyone is willing to suggest it. The idea that American's should be slightly uncomfortable is heresy.
