Small Town Framingham, businesses on Waverly Street

Tripoli Barber Stylist   If my memory is correct, this business was started by + Evo Facchini and is now run by +John Facchini his son.
 
Just a reminder of the section of Framingham we call Tripoli, many Italian families settled in that area, back in the great immigration of the early 1900's. 
 
Leave downtown Framingham on Waverly Street travel up Rt 135 toward Ashland,the first business on the left was +Garbarino Package Store, my Dad worked there in  his second job, as you travel up the road  you will see the businesses started by the turn of the Century Italian immigrants...including the church St. Tarcisius, that was founded to serve the Italian immigrants.  +De Collibus was across the street, +Waverly Supermarket,  +Framingham Baking,  +La Cantina, +Tripoli Barber,  there were many more immigrant businesses that still live today.
