George's Barber Shop
|
What makes West Boylston unique is that it's such a quiet and small town. West Boylston has many shops and businesses considering the size of it. Whether it be restaurants, shops, pharmacies, or other small industries, West Boylston has it all. Our town is preparing to celebrate it's 200 year celebration in 2008. West Boylston also has a historical landmark, The Old Stone Church which is located at the edge of the reservoir. There is always something to do or somewhere to be in our town. People spend their days at the reservoir, or at Bob's Hot Dogs. Others prefer to spend their time shopping at the plazas, or enjoying a movie at the cinemas.

George's Barber Shop is located on the Centerwood Terrace in West Boylston along with Dunkin Donuts, and a few other small businesses. The barber shop was owned by George Fratantonio. George opened his first barber shop in 1955 near Jerry's Hardware. However, in 1959, he moved to the new location on Centerwood Terrace. George's son, Vinny, now owns and runs the shop. He is the only barber working there. The customers of George's Barber Shop are people who want their hair cut. Sometimes, people just stop in to say a quick hello or to see some of their friends. George's is the busiest on Saturdays. I chose this business for my final project because my dad goes there every Saturday, and Vinny is a very good friend of ours. |
