While the house that we are caring for is in Needham, we are very close to the town of Wellesley, Massachusetts. I run into Wellesley on my runs, and Babson College, which is the campus where we walk Zeus, is officially in Wellesley. The town currently has a population of about 30,000, making it just a bit smaller than Needham, and Wikipedia tells me it was part of Needham (and known as West Needham) until 1881.
I decided to check out Wellesley town center and Whole Foods today. The initial walk to the town hall was 1.8 miles. It is another lovely day here. It has been sunny (with some occasional cloudiness due to Canadian wildfires) and highs in the 80s F and high 50s and low 60s for morning runs. I’m loving it.
The walk started off on Great Plains Avenue, the main road that runs by the house, but then turned off onto a path that took me into some neighborhoods in Wellesley before getting to the town center.
but the trail went around it on the left
One of the first structures that I saw in Wellesley town center was the Town Hall, which sits up on a small hill.
Near the front of the town Hall were stones honoring famous former residents.

The library had displays of artwork by local artists.
