Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• They've Got the Power in the Suburban Flex Market (bankerandtradesman.com) — A major office campus at 174 and 176 Middlesex Turnpike in Bedford is slowly filling up, with Cummings Properties signing seven diverse tenants and carving the huge complex into smaller spec suites. The company describes how it's adapting to a softer lab market by reusing existing space, targeting cleantech and flex users, and investing heavily to convert the Bedford property into a multitenant hub for growing firms.
• A Familiar Voice, a $15,000 Scam and a Mission to Warn Others (aarp.org) — A Bedford resident who lost $15,000 to a convincing phone scam is now sharing his story to help others avoid similar fraud. After believing a caller who mimicked his son's voice and claimed he was jailed in Boston, he contacted Bedford Police, who investigated but couldn't recover the cash, underscoring how vulnerable even savvy people can be.
• Massachusetts Man Found Dead After Search Following Discovery of His Empty Boat (themainewire.com) — An 84-year-old Bedford man, Benjamin Wiggins, was found dead off the coast of York, Maine, after his wrecked boat was discovered along the shore. Maine authorities and York rescue divers recovered his body Friday, a day after launching a search when his empty Boston Whaler was found near Freeman Street.
