Used to scoop my firewood at Robinson's in Saxonville (RIP). Was at home depot this week and they didn't have any. Would like to avoid getting a cord or half cord since it's overkill for my needs.
Any recommendations?
I just moved to the area and love how progressive the city is with all the dispensaries in and near by but where can a girl get some fronto leaves. Personally don’t like backwoods/dutches or grabba.
I've recently started budgeting my money, and to my shock I found out I had spent up to $500 in groceries on some months. I am a single 20 something woman and own one cat. I feel like this is a lot but IDRK. I mostly shop at Market basket and sometimes BJ's and Target. I would love to see how other Framingham residents' grocery habits compare to mine, pls share deets below!
Hey everyone! I recently started going to Planet Fitness in Natick, and I’m looking to connect with some gym buddies. I’d love to meet new people and stay motivated. If you’re interested in working out together, sharing tips, or just connecting, feel free to reach out!
Hi! I am a 28 year old sales professional and I just got a promotion that is relocating me to Framingham. Currently considering Bancroft Lofts, Union House, The Buckley, Modera and Avalon. Can anyone share real experiences? I’ve read conflicting reviews and may not have time to view each place before needing to have a lease signed for the job.
Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I will be commuting into downtown Boston but also through most of eastern New England via car. I may take the commuter rail some days but I will be doing a lot of driving to eye doctor‘s offices for my job.

Does anyone know what happened at the Rt 9 overpass yesterday around 11am? I heard a potential jumper but there’s been nothing in the news and given how backed up traffic was, the amount of emergency services etc, you’d think something would have been mentioned by now.
I go to planet fitness- I’m not going to post my age or gender on here but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to make some gym friends/ maybe has a group?
Brand new to the area, looking for the best barbershop in the city. Particularly looking for a shop that you don’t have to book an appointment weeks in advance to get in. A few days is fine but trying to book weeks in advance is difficult. Also, looking for a barber who is talented with fades and new trends, and one who uses a straight razor on hairline, neck and beard. No lines in the fade! Obviously cost is important but I’m willing to pay more for a better haircut.
Thanks everyone

It’s time to give away the toys my kids have outgrown. Where can I donate good stuff (like Legos) to families that need them? I don’t want to enrich a company- I want to give to real people. Any ideas?

Hello guys I moved to the area last week, I was wondering if there was a good bakery nearby? Thank you
First time posting here so bear with me. Moving to MA by myself for a new job and Framingham is definitely a place I'd consider moving into. The job is in central MA so I'll be commuting west instead of east towards Boston which I heard is much better (maybe?). I came across a few rental places near downtown and one I specifically interested in near Irving/South street. Is it generally a safe area to live? Seems nice to be in walking distance to places. Hoping to get some input about the pros/cons living in the downtown area, thanks in advance!!
Of course I’m out of town as the northern lights are flaring. Please post yours and make me jealous! Seen a few on FB
As the name suggests I'm living in Hopkinton, I'm looking for a sushi place, a Puerto rican food place, an authentic Indian food place, and Chinese food. Lemme know if you have any suggestions. The more authentic the better. Thanks framingham
Looking for adult pick up basketball games?
Hello,
I may be taking a job in Framingham soon, and I was shocked at the cost of housing. I am coming from a low cost of living area, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around these prices. Are there cities or towns within 30 mins of Framingham that are more affordable? Really don't want roommates, but open to most other arrangements (complex, private landlord, or in-law apartment). I have a car.
I do have a place to stay that's a bit over an hour for a commute, but I don't want to do that forever.
So, I found this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant two years ago and thought I’d make a post about them.
The food is so delicious and authentic. Personally, I’m obsessed with their Chicken Tinga Tacos.
Check them out if you’re in the area.
We lived in Metro West for a dozen years and left for DC in 2012. Now planning to return. Looking for a great building, amenities, good sound insulation, great property management.
Walking and Biking the rail trail has gotten flat out dangerous due to drivers completely ignoring the crossings. I’m a regular biker of the trail, so I speak mostly from that perspective, so any walkers feel free to add your perspective. I usually bike two passes of the trail (down and back twice), and at pretty much every grade crossing, I’m either waiting 3-5 minutes for a car to stop, or, in the case of the Old Connecticut Path crossing, nearly hit. And before anyone asks, yes I’m waiting for the lights and cars to stop, but at that old Connecticut crossing, people dont stop even when you’re in the road. It’s ridiculous and it’s unsafe.
