Monday Poll (Plus Marathon Images)

Happy Patriots Day everyone, and hope everyone especially my Massachusetts followers are enjoying this tremendous day for the annual Boston Marathon. Speaking of the marathon that is the topic of this week’s Monday Poll. Last week’s poll was a runaway with Fenway Park taking home the top spot for favorite Boston sports venue with 9 of the 11 votes. This week’s question is… where in Wellesley is your favorite place to watch the marathon, Wellesley Center, Wellesley Hills, or other? Also speaking of the marathon I had a chance this morning to make my way down to Wellesley Center for some of the early action, and took a couple of pictures to capture the day.
