Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Man Accused Of Discarding Loaded Gun Before Boarding Boston Bus (patch.com) — Boston readers are learning more about a downtown gun investigation after police say a loaded handgun was found in a flower planter near 136 Harrison Ave. Detectives later identified a suspect who allegedly discarded the weapon before boarding a Silver Line bus, leading to his arrest on multiple firearm charges and an outstanding Boston Municipal Court warrant.
2. Loaded Handgun Recovered After 2 Men Removed From Boston Building (patch.com) — Boston residents are learning more about an arrest in Back Bay where police say a loaded handgun was recovered from a bag left at a Dalton Street building and two men were later found at 800 Boylston Street. Both are expected in Boston Municipal Court on firearm, property damage, and trespassing charges after officers and security staff linked them to the abandoned bag and a broken vehicle gate.
3. 'The most Boston sign.' People are seeing a provocative message in the new CITGO sign (bostonglobe.com) — Boston's beloved CITGO sign is mid-move in Kenmore Square, and locals are having fun with the temporary framing that some online are calling "the most Boston sign." The relocation will raise the landmark 30 feet and shift it 120 feet east to keep it visible as Boston's skyline evolves, with construction expected through December.
4. Massachusetts is Home to the Best October Travel Destination in the U.S. and It's Not Salem (wbsm.com) — Boston gets top billing as a prime October getaway, with Travel + Leisure naming the city one of the world's best places to visit thanks to foliage, historic walks, and big events like the Head of the Charles and Oktoberfest. The piece highlights Boston's fall tours, regatta viewing, and several centrally located hotels, underscoring how the city stands out even among global destinations.
