Im sure a few folks are going to make comments to that that wont be nice. Webster has be the low priority vs. for a long time. The money HAS gone to Park st. and South Shore. Im sure once Target moves in we will get some chain store in that mall its inevitable. Will it change the fact that Webster is left behind? Most likly not.

And while they have…Read More widened Webster (near the tunnel) and plan a Target Store, we are NOT a shopping destination - unless you are seeking pizza, liquor or a tattoo. Our Webster street fairs are also attended poorly and with less quality vendors, than Park Street. Thank god for Cafe Jolie,1400, and Crolls. Will something be done/developed in the empty parking lot on Taylor and Webster? (former site of the farmers market).
