UPDATE: Chestnut Hill Phoenix
From Dave Brigham:
There is progress at the Newton, MA, site where the Omni grocery store and other retail and business offices once stood, which I posted 19 months ago (see June 11, 2010, "Chestnut Hill Phoenix"). As I indicated at that time, New England Development plans a complex featuring residential, office and retail space. Recently, the developers announced the site, to be known as Chestnut Hill Square, will be anchored by a Wegmans grocery store. People are excited about that.
While doing some Christmas shopping at the mall across Route 9 from the site, I snapped a few pictures of the demolition in progress.
This is the approximate spot where the Omni once stood.

It is good to see them finally doing something with that space after that fire a bunch of years back.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that. I lived not too far from there when the fire occurred and used to drive past there, and shop at Omni, afterwards. Good to know the site will be revitalized. I wonder if they'll put any kind of memorial up anywhere about the victims.
