Wrong turn on Moody Street

These are awkward times for Moody Street, the main thoroughfare that just a decade ago was hailed as the face of Waltham's rebirth from factory town to hipster suburb.

On April 12, the Construction Site, a children's store that served as one of the street's retail destination points, closed. The past year has also seen the departure of Maxima Gift Center, Harry's Shoe Store, Brickman's Furniture, and Lexington Music Center.
