FRAMINGHAM, MA – Many residents of Framingham got up early this morning to take a short drive over the town line to Natick.
Some got up early just to make sure they had a good spot to watch Natick’s Annual 4th of July Parade — and others to get ready to be in it.
As a town, we should thank our neighbors to the east for putting together a first-class, traditional, all-American Independence Day parade — and for being unselfish enough to include Framingham performers, musicians, politicians, classic car owners, fire engines as well as parade watchers.
