probably should, but I want to know more about MA...because all I know about Natick, it's about 25 miles northwest of Boston, it's a tad pricey and there are loads of private schools in the area...so the missus is happy, won't need to be certified if she blagged a job with one

It's the place that I interviewed in Natick a bit back when I was fourth choice for 4 positions that became 3 positions....apparently they have just gotten a large franchise deal and are building up a new art team of 10-15 people and I was the first person he contacted before advertising to see if I was available and still wanted to work there

Welcome to Massachusetts, Bob. Hope the job is as good as they said it would be. Housing prices are a bit over the top, no matter where you look in MA, but the closer to Boston the worse they are.

yeah, I heard things weren't cheap in that neck of the woods *lol*...don't sound cheap out where the place is either, Wayland exact, but I've already figured we can't really afford living in any of the W's in the place, so looking just out in the next towns in natick and the like...been told to avoid framingham though...so any other suggestions?
