Progress at West Main and
School Streets NSTAR's crews were on site today conducting some of the necessary work which will bring the construction at the intersection of School and West Main Streets closer to completion. NSTAR's crews estimate that it will take them 8-10 days to relocate all their wires from the old poles to the new poles. Comcast and Verizon can relocate their wires once NSTAR's work is complete. The final step will be for the Town's contractor to widen the pavement and restripe the lines.

From the Radical Middle Spooky Woods
Unseen creatures make noises ~ a true story
by Robert Falcione
But people need variety, so on this day I headed to
Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in Sutton. The sun was hidden from my view and the darkened trail provided an instant spookiness that causes a lone human to be wary and on alert with a heightened sensitivity. After all, I had heard of bear sightings in this park four years ago, but never wanted to actually see one myself. If I did, I remember someone saying to roll up in a fetal position - or was I supposed to run? Hope I don't have to find out.
Fresh human shoeprints on the sandy part of the trail. Someone else is
in the woods. Hiker, runner, dog walker, Wiccan? READ MORE... |

Promoting Open Space Editor:
In 2007 Hopkinton carried out a Land
Evaluation Study, prepared by Community Opportunities
Group, Connery Associates, and a committee formed of 13
Hopkinton citizens. This study was
preliminary, and so was not inclusive of all properties
with the town. The 40-acre property
at Given the statement made at the above referenced Selectmen’s Meeting, by the Chair of the Visioning Steering Group, and the rank of that piece of property in the referenced study, I fail to understand why the State, as well as Hopkinton and its citizens, are not working aggressively towards acquiring this land as open space.
