• 9 Massachusetts Schools Keeping Old-School Crafts And Handmade Skills Alive (takingthekids.com) — Lexington residents can dive into hands-on creativity at the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society on Waltham Street, where five fully equipped studios offer ceramics, metalworking, painting, weaving, fiber arts, and woodworking. The piece highlights its Depression-era roots, inclusive programs like the Molesky Series for students with special learning needs, and frequent gallery shows and artisan markets just a short walk from historic downtown.
• America's Best Small Cities With Something for Everyone (internewscast.com) — Lexington has been named WalletHub's best small city in America for 2026, praised for its top-tier schools, historic character, parks, and family-friendly amenities. The article also notes the town's extremely high home prices and rents, explaining how its Revolutionary War history, community involvement, and proximity to Boston make it both highly desirable and very expensive for would-be residents.
• Ryan Costello is posting monumental time drops and has Newton North cross-country off to a perfect start (bostonglobe.com) — Lexington's cross-country team is currently ranked No. 1 in Division 1, setting the bar that programs like Newton North, Billerica, and Concord-Carlisle are chasing this fall. The story focuses on Newton North star Ryan Costello's huge time drops, his leadership and social media presence, and how statewide meets and rescheduled invitationals are shaping the season's competitive landscape.
