It's an odd psychological barrier, crossing 128. Framingham really isn't all that far -- maybe 15 minutes further out from the city -- but we've heard so many people talk about how far they think of it being that it gives us pause. One of the objectives for this house is to have a good place to start entertaining again (it's delightfully well-laid-out for parties), and there's an odd little fear that no one will make the trek out there.
It's not an unreasonable fear. Alastair and Myfanwy were very disappointed that people were so reluctant to come out when they entertained, and they lived in Framingham.
Something also to consider, if you were thinking postrevels: where is the Barony holding events these days? With postrevels issue, then, becomes what is the trajectory from site, to postrevel, to attendees' homes? Is it either near or en route to any of the above?

How big a priority is entertaining, anyways?
