Wow, I didn't know that Southwicks was still in existence! We took our DSs there about 20 years ago. DS #1 went to Nature's Classroom, but we moved to Texas just before DS #2's year to go. And DH used to live in Grafton (before he was my DH, if you know what I mean). My former wedding reception was in Upton-I can't remember the name of the resturaunt, it probably doesn't exist, but then you never know-Southwick's lives so maybe the resturaunt does! Hey, can someone send me down a Sundae from Friendly's? That's what I miss the most from Massachusetts.

Southwick's is alive and well and still expanding in their 50th year. Check out their website at http://www.southwickszoo.com/. My oldest goes camping at Southwick's next month with the Boy Scouts. Last year the Boy Scouts raked the deer trails and the zoo stayed open late just for them.

The only restaurant I can think of in Upton that held weddings was the Pine Ridge Country Club. It closed in the mid 80's to make way for several homes.

Wish I could help with the sundae. I stopped at Friendly's last Wednesday for a shake on my way home from picking up the oldest from swimming at the Whitinsville Community Center.

Hmmm, wonder if they offer something for the Girl Scouts...that might be interesting to my dd's troop of 14 y/o's.



Hey, Simba's Mom.....If I could figure out a way to send a Friendly's sundae I would but I can't...guess I'll just eat one for you!!!

From Milford, moved to Upton.

Hmmm...didn't the Primrose Motel host weddings??

Everyone ready for the 11.5 cent gas tax hike, tolls on all Interstate Highways, and Casinos? Time to move!!

Hi all MetroWest Neighbors - We're right down the road in Hopkinton!

 

[Mickeysduck]

Hi Camster0307,

Dynasty Restaurant in Hopkinton is another of our favorites for Chinese! (they don't use MSG)!!

 

[TSMIII]

I live in Sturbridge too!! Hmmmmm maybe I know you...

Maybe you do...or maybe we know OF each other...How long have you lived in Sturbridge??

I've been back for about 4 years now.

If you've got kids, maybe we're acquainted through the school - Burgess that is, not Tantasqua, as we've only got a 6 yr old so far.

BTW, aren't you happy the Brimfield traffic is done for the year!

Just Checking in from the Merrimack Valley. New to DVC but have been on DIS for a while. Trying to plan our next trip to WDW for X-mas in 2008.

Everyone says that! Honestly, we LOVE Cheng Du in Westborough! Best Mai Tai in MetroWest!

I have 6 yo at Burgess too!! I also have 9yo there and a 12yo at the Jr. High. I've lived here for 14 years.

Brimfield traffic doesn't bother me too much. I live on the opposite end of town so I dont have to go through it too much.

I used to work for Hood down on Wharf St until the big fire. Now I work for Towne Tree & Landscaping, at the old Pepsi plant on Randolph Ave.

Hmmm, haven't been to the Cheng Du in years, we mostly do Mandarin Westborough. May have to check out Cheng Du again soon.
Now, I do have friends in Upton who swear by the Rose Garden (at least that's what I think it is), but the food we've had from there isn't anywhere as good as the Mandarin or what we remember Cheng Du being.

I have neighbors who LOVE Mandarin Westborough - keep telling me to try it. But we always wind up at Cheng Du! You love what you know - hence my yearly vacations to WDW!

I think the more important question is where are we gonna get some food like this in Florida near Disney?
