I've dealt with others besides Nashua St., and they are everything you expect. When I went to Nashua Street it was because I lost my license. I thought I was really in for it then. There was no problem with my IDs and I think I was out of there in 10 minutes. NOW, Framingham on the other hand is awful. I went in to renew my license and was there for about and hour and 45 of it was waiting in line. Explain that one. Another time I went in to change my last name on my registration (I got married). I was standing in front of the woman and spelled my new last name one letter at a time, and she still screwed it up. Granted my last name is not easy, but I spelled it, what more could I do. It's not just Framingham, Lawrence is pretty bad too. Margo Kosicki
