Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. How Framingham plans to address $6.35M in overdue water and sewer bills (metrowestdailynews.com) — Framingham officials are tightening how they collect $6.35 million in overdue water and sewer bills, which could mean more liens and added charges on local property tax bills. Residents behind on payments will get clearer notices, written payment plans, and a final chance to pay before balances are added to tax bills, with results reviewed after winter bills go out.
2. Market's still fresh - three weeks left at Framingham Farmers Market (metrowestdailynews.com) — You've still got three more Thursdays to enjoy the Framingham Farmers Market on the Framingham Centre Green, featuring about 80 vendors and 12 food trucks. The market runs 3-7 p.m., with food trucks starting at noon, offering everything from award-winning sauces to family-friendly activities and organic produce for Framingham-area shoppers.
3. 'I'm not your neighbor': In Southie, a few blocks away is a world apart (bostonglobe.com) — Framingham appears in this deep dive on Greater Boston's widening income gaps as a lower-income neighbor to affluent Natick, highlighting a nearby census tract where median family income is just $49,000. The story explores how such divides shape schools, housing, health, and daily life, and why suburban communities like Natick and Framingham are central to the region's inequality.
4. Massachusetts Broadcasters Association To Honor Gene Lavanchy (tvnewscheck.com) — Framingham will host the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association's Sound Bites conference on Nov. 19 at the Renaissance Framingham Hotel and Conference Center, where longtime Boston anchor Gene Lavanchy will receive Broadcaster of the Year. The event brings broadcasters from across the state for seminars, networking, awards, and a dinner program, with tickets available online through Nov. 12.
