I visited Mayyim Hayyim in preparation for my wedding in 2012, yet I'm writing this review in 2018…read more Why? Because I saw there were only two other reviews, and it made me sad that the lack of reviews might inhibit others from experiencing this place, which I really loved. For context, I'm a queer Jew (raised reform) who was marrying another woman (who was a non-Jew). I had no intention of using the mikveh on a monthly basis after my wedding, but I loved the idea of immersing as a pre-wedding tradition. I was a bit nervous to go, but I felt completely welcomed and supported while I was there. The person who greeted me was warm and welcoming, and understood that I didn't really know what I was doing. The room where you pre-wash and prepare has some instructions, blessings, and things to meditate on/think about, which I appreciated. There were options for different blessings, which I appreciated. The actual mikveh itself was unbelievably gorgeous. I wanted to linger longer! I left feeling refreshed and contemplative. I would unquestionably recommend this place to anyone considering an immersion before getting married (or other major life event). For me, it was a wonderful way to have a private, special moment before embarking on a big new chapter in my life.

Great library! Very nice staff, has an old school charm without being depressing (like the…read moreFramingham Library) and lots of easy-to-book study rooms. Note, the study rooms are NOT sound proof. I did not realize this and booked one to take meetings on zoom, and was promptly asked to keep my voice down. Oops. Tons of tables around the library to set up and work in addition to the private study rooms. The only drawback is metered street parking only.

Dedham Square could definitely be better, but for now, it works and is currently having some…read moreconstruction (It will be interesting to see what goes in there.....). Even though so many people remember the traffic light in the middle of the street, the center now works much better than the previous status. The entire center has been fully repaved and completely renovated with parking, sidewalks, lighting, traffic lights and so much more. Lots of the storefronts currently have reconstruction and others have already been completed. A few new restaurants and stores are slated to open soon (Horse Thieves Tavern, Blue Ribbon BBQ) in the Square which is a very much needed attribute that Dedham was lacking. Currently, the only restaurants in Dedham are chain restaurants all on Providence Highway. With that said, Dedham Square is an up and coming zone, unlike Norwood Center as it comparably has declined immensely. Dedham is growing and growing and the goals and wants of residents and the way that this Square is appreciated, acknowledged and kept up shows how the residents of Dedham do in fact care about their town community, which is always something I as a nearby resident like to see. Always great seeing areas with high amounts of local businesses and restaurants. In general, the improvements to the landscape and improvements of many more tenants have both made Dedham Square a more desirable and hopeful area. I would suggest visiting to look around, you may be pleasantly surprised with the options of restaurants, retail, coffee shops, and local services you are able to find. 4 stars.

Lovely place. My only concern is that there are so many…read moreleft wing radical books on Palestine and left wing people who preach hate.

It's close to the Wellesley Square and the commuter rail station, there's tons of parking here for cars and bicycles and the entire facility is completely handicapped accessible. Wellesley's Free Library is a winner. This is a large library with a huge collection of books. I spent two hours at a study table upstairs which had a power outlet and access to a free and fast wifi signal. If only I needed books! [Review 10124 overall, 1710 of 2018.]

Covered Bridge Lane is a new subdivision in the Town of Wayland. The developers cutesy idea, to…read morehelp sell his development of over priced over sized cookie cutter houses on postage stamp lots, was to build a covered bridge over the stream which would help promote the "semi rural" feel of the town. Knowing that "semi rural" was the buzz word that would make town officials swoon. The developers then put up "private way" signs, discouraging riff raff like me from driving over this bridge and taking photos. I'm guessing my tax dollars pay for plowing and other road maintenance. As far as covered bridges go, this one is 100% new and modern. But was tastefully done so it kinda looks like it has been around forever. I'm trying to remember when it was built. My guess is it's around 5 years old. So 2012.
