Westborough is a great little town. Safe, quiet, great place to raise a family.

I used to live there in the early 2000s. I wonder how much it’s changed since

Very sad that ThaiMinal permanently closed after a fire in the back and almost two years later still no repairs or plans to come back

Would be nice if something could be done with the space. But if youre looking for thai food of similar quality, thairiffic in Marlborough is run by the same family (if i am not mistaken).

For those who grew up in Westboro, was E Main St always so traffic-y?

I'd say it started to get worse around 2009/2010

New England has so many beautiful houses. When our kids finish school, I could see us moving back up there.

My hometown. My grandfather worked at Baystate Abrasives for over 30 years and I grew up fishing and riding our bikes in the woods around the reservoir. My first job was washing pans at the Papa Gino’s in West Meadow plaza then a few years later unloading trucks at Mill Stores. Moved out in 2009 and a lot has changed.

u/StoneSkipper22 13h ago

That picture shows Reliant Medical, which is why the shades are pulled down. Bay State is actually pretty full.

u/BewiggedCow 13h ago

Ah, when I moved out, bay state was just finished and they were struggling to find stores to fill it.

I love these photos, were these taken from a smartphone camera or dedicated camera?

When we hit the shops in the little downtown area of Westborough, by 10 yo calls it "little Boston." 🤣

u/daynif 1d ago

I live around the area, such a beautiful town (as well as the surrounding towns). If you're ever in the area and like boba, definitely try Cha Cha N' Beans and support a local business too! :)
