very random question

anyone have any ideas where i could get a swim cap? I am carless and home with a baby today, so being nearby or T accessible would be very good. I don't mind walking as far as say Porter or over to Alewife.... maybe citysports? Marshalls?

Update: Bought one at Citysports for $10, less the 20% coupon i had... Thanks all!

I don't have an immediate answer, but maybe I'll walk over to Family Dollar and ask there. Do we have a Marshall's in our neighborhood?

CitySports in Porter would be my bet.

There is a Marshall's (or something very similar) in one of the shopping plazas over past Alewife (on Alewife Brook Parkway).

That's a TJ Maxx -- although the same company owns both that chain and Marshall's.

I'm pretty sure there's also a sporting good store in the plaza past Alewife. I think it's Modell's.

good point. given the heat, i think i'll probably call before walking out that way to check it out...

There are two -- Olympia Sports is in the same plaza.

(BTW, if you walk there, go through Danehy Park off Sherman Street. Much more pleasant than walking over the Route 16 bridge)

oh yeah, i meant TJ max over at fresh pond.... i get the two confused.

There is a Marshall's in Somerville, in Twin City plaza, which you could get to by bus. Not quite in our immediate Davis neighborhood though.

I'd try a sports store like the one in Porter or the one in the fresh pond plaza first though.

I keep forgetting that store exists since you can't see it from the street at all. So many 'medium-box' stores have failed in that location, one after another -- Service Merchandise, OfficeMax, some guitar store, Bob's Store.
