I just partook in a pilgrimage past the Natick Border. YUP, I just came from Framingham, namely One Underprice Way aka JORDAN'S FURNITURE!
The picture above are the very-involved owners of Jordan's furniture. Usually store owners are elusive and pretentious, but not these guys! They go out of their way to make themselves relatable to the point of almost degradation, starting with their ponytails. Quick anecdote: I thought they were a gay couple. Turns out they're brothers. Who knew. (actually the employee handing out Mardi Gras necklaces at the door knew because she was the one who told me)
For those who were wondering, I had a very good reason for being at Jordan's furniture, and no it was not to buy a reclining chair with a Red Sox logo emblazoned in the arm rest. After weeks of begging my cronies to see the Rolling Stones movie, I finally asked the cronies who I knew couldn't say no: my rents. For one, my rents introduced me to the Rolling Stones. For two, they took me to their concert a few years ago at Fenway Park. For three, it's a rare day when I'm asking my rents to hang!
The movie was a much more enjoyable experience than seeing the stones live, surprisingly. The movie was made using eighteen cameras, so when it's not intensely focused on Mick Jagger's cheek bones, you feel like you're a spectator from the very stage he's performing on. Another plus of the IMAX rolling stones experience would have to be the mere absence of my mom tapping me on the shoulder during "Jumping Jack Flash" to tell me she was having a "contact high" from the person blatantly smoking a joint next to us, as she had done only a couple years prior.
In conclusion, Jordan's furniture is well worth the trek. The seats are so comfortable, and I've actually never seen a larger screen in my life. The end more than justified the means.
