Today's riddle: Riddle: David's parents have three sons: Snap, Crackle, and what's the name of the third son? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. What Sold: Lexington's 10 Most Recent Closings (patch.com) — Lexington homeowners and buyers can see how the local market is moving, with ten properties closing between September 11 and 24, including a $3.9 million sale on Winthrop Road. The list spans condos and single-family homes across streets like Cummings Avenue, Marrett Road, and Cedar Street, offering a snapshot of current prices in town.
2. Lexington committee votes to delay building a crematory at Westview Cemetery (lexobserver.org) — Lexington's Ad Hoc Crematory Study Committee II has voted 4–2 to delay building a crematory at Westview Cemetery, pausing a project meant to serve local Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist families. Supporters argue the facility would offer compassionate, culturally appropriate rites close to home, while opponents cite health, environmental, cost, and neighborhood concerns. Town leaders say the idea could be revisited as technology, funding, and community views evolve.
3. Volleyball Recap: Melrose Wins Going Away Against Lexington (maxpreps.com) — Lexington High's volleyball team just took its first loss of the season, falling 3–0 to Melrose in a tightly contested match where every set was decided by three points or fewer. Strong efforts from Akane Suzuki, Ela Sari, and Ally Lin weren't enough to turn the tide, and Lexington then dropped another 3–0 match to Winchester on the 22nd. The Minutemen now sit at 2–1 and will look to regroup quickly.
4. Tips to Catch the Best of New England's Fall Foliage, Festivals (gcnews.com) — If you're planning fall color outings, Lexington is spotlighted as one of Massachusetts' classic "Revolutionary" foliage destinations alongside Concord, the Berkshires, and the Mohawk Trail. The guide also shares peak timing, state foliage maps, and major fairs across New England, from Vermont's scenic byways to Maine and New Hampshire's mountain drives. It's a handy starting point if you want to pair Lexington's history with leaf-peeping road trips.
