IKEA is getting closer and yet farther away -- now that the Assembly Square, Somerville site is tied up in mediation hell, making it an even ten years the project has been stymied there, there may be plans for a second site in Avon, in Jordan's country. All I care about is getting the cheapest candles in the universe closer than 235 miles away...also the meatballs. Note that a New Haven, CT location will break ground on my birthday...it's fate.
