Pent-up demand for office supplies in Rozzie to be eased by new Staples

Yeah, Rozzie's got that - or soon will. The old Ashmont hardware store on Washington Street will likely be torn down for a new Staples, so residents will soon no longer have to drive all the way down to Dedham to pick up reams of glossy paper, ink cartridges and Easy buttons. The neighborhood had successfully resisted past proposals for the property, such as a self-service storage facility, in the eight or so years the property has slowly moldered.
