📰 News we're reading
• A sign of something new, perhaps (bristoledition.org) — A cleared stretch of land along Terryville Avenue and Route 6 in Bristol’s west end is now covered in bright yellow blooms while it awaits commercial development. The 2.6-acre site, across from West Cemetery and near the old New Departure complex, is being marketed for office, retail, or warehouse use.
