Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Nor'easter threats: Flood watch for all of eastern, parts of central Mass. through early Tuesday (boston25news.com) — Dedham is under multiple National Weather Service alerts this weekend as a slow-moving nor'easter brings heavy rain, strong northeast winds, and possible flooding through early Tuesday. Expect potential power outages, coastal flooding in nearby shoreline communities, and hazardous travel, with residents urged to protect flood‑prone property and stay updated via MEMA and local outage maps.
• America's British History: English Architecture in Colonial America – From Timber Framing to Georgian Elegance (anglotopia.net) — Dedham gets a notable shoutout in this deep dive into how English architectural styles shaped colonial America, with the Fairbanks House cited as a prime surviving example. The piece traces how New England homes evolved from timber-framed dwellings to Georgian mansions, showing how climate, materials, and English pattern books influenced buildings that still define many Massachusetts towns today.
• Ed Sheeran concerts at Gillette Stadium have been cancelled due to Nor'easter (wjla.com) — Ed Sheeran's concerts at Gillette Stadium this Friday and Saturday have been canceled, officially due to the approaching nor'easter, and Dedham resident Donna Mena is among locals questioning the timing. The shows had already been mired in controversy after opening act Macklemore's "Free Palestine" comments, his removal from the tour, falling ticket prices, and refund demands from the state attorney general.
