There’s one Ikea store near Boston - in Staughton, about 35 minutes south of where I’m staying.
I needed some furniture and bedding so it seemed like the best option. However this Ikea has only been open 4 months and so it’s a total mob scene. It took 15 minutes to find parking and the store was packed with people - many of home didn’t seem to ‘get’ the Ikea one way system which caused things to move very slowly.
It took a while but I ended up with everything I needed. I bought a new mattress at a local store too, and that gets delivered tomorrow so I won’t have to sleep on David’s futon any longer.
For dinner tonight I took a short drive over to Lexington - it’s a very nice town. It has a decent ‘main street’ with a Peets ! and an excellent Indian restuarant where I had dinner. I drove through a couple of neighbourhoods and the properties seem pretty much in line with what were looking for. I’m going to head back there tomorrow in daylight to take some photos.
