A western suburb of Boston--close to the Route 128 technology corridor as well as downtown Boston--Waltham, Mass. used to be known as the home to the Waltham Watch Factory. Now it is home to a variety of technology and venture capital firms. Microsoft's Boston Technology Center, for example, is located in Waltham, Mass.

ok, the picture they have is a tad misleading, but whatever. remember when we talked about the great food you can get on moody st? or that Triumph the insult comic dog really loves waltham? or the fantastic housing market? why would you ever want to leave?

So where are all the true 4-life Walthamites going to live now that Waltham is now the new Somerville?

During their time at the Waltham institution, the men were subject to physical and mental abuses, including forced labor. In addition, the men were part of what was called the ``Science Club,'' a group of residents who underwent ``improper medical experimentation,'' a blatant violation of human rights, White-Lief said.
