    "This side of Main Street is very close to an industrial area on the river (2 blocks away) with several empty old warehouses. A revitalization started several years ago but the economy put an end to it and there are a few condo complexes unfinished or partially empty. Watertown school system is not as good as neighboring Newton, Belmont or Cambridge. Overnight parking ban November through April creates a serious season issue. Much of Watertown doesn't have curbs or sidewalk and many older residents paved their front yards which takes away from curb appeal. Professional couples w/out kids and 30 somethings are a growing percent of the population but there's very limited entertainment options. Wal-mart may be coming to 180 Arsenal St. area"
