This map is probably a tad tough to read (you might be able to zoom in on it by clicking on images), but might give you a feel for what Wellesley looked like businesswise 15 years ago. The actual map is located on the bottom floor of Wellesley town hall near the back door if you ever want to check it out in person.
Among the places shown that are no longer in town due to a change of times: Photo Wizard photo lab, Tinder Box cigar store and BankBoston. Also, a notable lack of yoga and froyo spots back then.
Wellesley also switched over to the 781 area code around then.
