Looking for Polaroid Type 55 ?

That would be better news if it's the case, but maybe they ought to call a staff meeting so the employees are all on the same page. I talked to a phone rep, and asking for confirmation she passed me on to someone who confirmed that stocks wouldn't be replenished. Sort of like trying to order drinks as the Titannic is going down.

Remember too that there are heavy zoning negotiations underway for some variances so that a shopping mall can be built on the land the land that is now occupied by the T55 processing line and other Polaroid facilities. ... They sit on some of the most valuable udeveloped/underdeveloped land in the entire Boston metro area.

Which facility are you referring to? I believe the negotiations over the Waltham property has long since been done. The shopping mall is being reported in the Waltham newspaper as being a real reality. As has the reports of the developer improvments to the 128 exit/entrance and traffic circle.

EDIT: You are right, Ted - Waltham Zoning Board of Appeals still reviewing plans. http://www.dailynewstribune.com/news/x1960727439

My suspicion is that is will be pretty much a slam-dunk, though... there has been lots of "cooperation" from the developer so far.
