Where In Waltham Is This?

Photo Of The Day: What Waltham Shop Is This?

Guess where in Waltham this is!

Waltham is filled with photogenic sites, many of which you may not notice during your daily travels and chores. Waltham Patch, however, gallivanted about the city recently searching for such scene, but that was only half the fun. The other half — Patch readers guessing what the photo is. Each day this week, Patch will run a photo with an adjoining clue asking readers to guess what it is or where it resides in the city, or both. Submit your guesses in the comment box below!

Today's photo is the front of a Waltham store, but which one?
