“The” Linden Square goes soft with “The” Cashmere Sale

November 11, 2014 by Bob Brown 2 Comments

The Cashmere Sale A pop-up store dubbed “The” Cashmere Sale that is selling cashmere sweaters, wraps and accessories has found itself “the” coziest little spot in Linden Square.

“The” storefront at 165 Linden St. next to “The” California Pizza Kitchen, is one of 10 across the country in swanky locales including Darien, Greenwich and LA. “The” Cashmere Sale describes itself as a small division of a New York apparel company.

Items can be purchased at “the” Wellesley store, which is open until Dec. 6, for between $48 and $228.

And that’s all, from “The” Swellesley Report…

Move over Wellesley Country Club: Mini golf business opens in Linden Square

August 14, 2014 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

For those of you sick of bank after spa after bank filling storefronts across Wellesley, there’s a new business in town that should earn your patronage: a glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course dubbed Glowgolf.

Yes, it’s a tad less outdoorsy than Wellesley Country Club and Nehoiden Golf Club at Wellesley College and even the excellent (and educational!) Village Green course on Rte. 9 in Natick. But Glowgolf (which used to have a course at Natick Mall) is conveniently located indoors next to Unleashed by Petco in Linden Square, so it would be a nice option on downpour days like yesterday.

Glowgolf — not to be confused with the glow-in-the-dark Monster Golf courses found elsewhere in Massachusetts — features 18 holes and you can play up to 54 holes with your admission. There’s an area for birthday parties and group events, too. Think about the possibilities of combining a trip to Glowgolf with a run over to Needham Bowlaway for some candlepin bowling under the black lights. Wear your favorite florescent cycling or yoga clothes and you’ll be all set for a wild time on the town.

Glowgolf, based in Wichita, Kan., charges $10 for adults and $8 for kids, with group and family discounts available. Operating hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday – Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Having just taken a beating at mini golf on the Jersey Shore last week, I seriously need to go practice my putting at this new place…

(Readers: Does anyone know if Wellesley has ever had a mini golf course? And I don’t mean the golf simulators that can now be found in certain man caves across town.)
