I just walked into Mahoney's in woburn center. This is one of those places where you feel you stepped back in time. The ceramic looking tile floor is browned by age, cracked in places missing segments in others. The entire place seems like early nineteen hundreds, or even as young as nineteen forties. I suspect a nineteenth century lineage though. There is always a line because Charlie the owner does good work. Nit far from where I'm sitting hangs a nice large photo of president John f Kennedy.
The brick facade out side, and large wooden pane windows, and the finish of a haircut with a straight edge razor are partly why I love this place.
Maybe some day people will visit woburn, like they visit boston, salem and concord.
