Nothing like a water-main break in Framingham to ruin a perfectly good commute. WBZ's Traffic on the 3s says cars were stacked up past Southborough eastbound this morning thanks to the water-main problems at Prospect Street in Framingham.

Why I'm glad I don't work in Southborough anymore

adamg — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:17:53 -0400

Last month, our office moved from Southborough to Framingham. There are actually several reasons I'm a happy worker: For one thing, the new office is 10 or 15 minutes closer to home (yay for me, kinda sucks for co-workers living along 495). The building (that weird one at Old Connecticut Path and Speen Street that looks like the architects took a black-glass building up in a helicopter and then dropped it on top of a brick building) is much nicer. And I no longer have to worry about skidding into the reservoir along Rte. 9 down by the Edgewater apartments.
