Somerville Ikea closer to reality?

It may be true.

That seems sensible. It's not like "land behind Home Depot" is pristine and untouched by big-box stores, so I feel much more ok about an Ikea going there than right on the river. I do worry about traffic, though - it seems like everyone who has to get in or out of Stoughton kind of hated their lives after that one opened.

That's pretty much true of any IKEA anywhere in the world, though. I went to one in Jönköping, Sweden, and my friends were complaining about it.

Stoughton one got much better after january. and would also lessen the traffic at the somerville one as southerners would go there.. though NH and ME people would come to somerville.. but that's only fair as MA people go to NH for their cars and bring traffic there and ME for the outlets..

It's right on the 93. Hard to do much better with respect to traffic than "on an interstate".
