[QUOTE=JohnnyD;666377]Ffs RIJIMMY, you're here too? Seems like half this board is from Mansfield.
Don't worry though, Mansfield Crossing is going to bring in over $1M profit to the town. I have a lot of friends involved with the town and what they left out in that number, are the 5-6 firefighters they hired, a handful of additional cops and the extra strain on the town utilities.
Good luck with that thinking about Mansfield Crossing !
I've been in Wrentham 20 years.
When I moved here it was a nice quiet town .
The POS selectmen, town employees, police & fire depts ect... forced the outlet malls on us , even though most all residents in the town wanted nothing to do with the mall in our town.
The %$%$%$%$ing malls really improved the quality of life in the town with all the traffic, car break ins, shop lifting, house break ins ect...  |

Absolutely. I was being more than sarcastic. Mansfield is headed on that same route. Has been ever since they put in a complex of "Affordable Housing" (read: 90% section 8) called the Depot. |

On West St?
Not the complex across 140 from the SS mall?
Sales have been way down at Mansfield Crossing, a certain outdoor clothier has numbers about 40 pct of last year. Fortunately, Tax revenues are tied to sales
They are building across the street from Fridays, they could build out a good portion of the industrial park between Mansfield Crossing and Home Depot with retail. You'd never know unless you lived in West Mansfield and wanted to get out to 140.

What is it they're building across from Friday's? My son's preschool is on school st., so I drive by that site a couple of times a week, and can't figure it out. I can't understand why they'd be building when they've already had one anchor store at the Crossing go out of business. On top of that, I heard the Home Depot in mansfield will be closing this year, too. I just hope Benny's stays open. |

All in all Mansfield still is and will continue to be a safe place to raise kids. I am happy here.

I can't remember who told me, but they said that it's one of the lower volume stores in the area and will be one the first ones closed. I prefer to shop Ace Hardware/Fernandes Lumber in Easton, but I go to that HD too so I hope it stays open. There are some things I can't get at the smaller independent stores. |
