Wellesley real estate update: When will storefronts fill up?
I’m not sure how the current empty storefront situation in Wellesley Square and other parts of town compares historically, but a bunch of those spaces sure have been vacant for a while. It’s not like we haven’t had any businesses open — Upper Crust Pizzeria where SCORE used to be, the Papa Gino’s at 254 [...]

The Grossman’s sign at 27 Washington Street in Wellesley Lower Falls went down around noon today to make way for National Development’s new office/retail/housing construction project, which will start going up in the fall.

The demolition of the sign, and later orange-and-white building, will pave the way for an office/retail building, plus senior housing.The sign toppling — which probably won’t be quite as [...]

Will Whole Foods, which expects to move in by Fall of 2011, hire any of them? (Though that would be a long time to wait for a job) Meanwhile, the fate of restaurant [...]

Wellesley flower swap: Kabloom out, Posies in
Posies of Wellesley has replaced Kabloom at 77 Central St. in Wellesley Square. Maybe this happened ages ago — and maybe I’m opening myself up to questions about the last time I sent flowers — but just thought I’d mention it.
