Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Marblehead, Swampscott Set Hazardous Waste Collection Day (patch.com) — Marblehead residents, along with neighbors from Swampscott, can safely dispose of paints, automotive fluids, chemicals, and other hazardous materials during a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Oct. 7 at the Marblehead Transfer Station. The late-afternoon event requires proof of residency, charges fees based on volume, and accepts only credit cards or checks, with detailed guidance available from the Marblehead Board of Health.
• Inside the $8.9M home that just broke Marblehead's sales record (marbleheadcurrent.org) — A Marblehead waterfront estate at 10 West Orchard Street just sold for $8.9 million, setting a new all-time residential sales record for the town. The 9,000-square-foot shingle-style home, built in 2011, features sweeping harbor views, high-end finishes, and extensive outdoor terraces, and it went under agreement in only six days, underscoring the strength of Marblehead's luxury housing market.
• New state variance rules give Marblehead ZBA more room to weigh housing (marbleheadcurrent.org) — Marblehead's Zoning Board of Appeals is adjusting to a new state law that replaces the strict "substantial hardship" variance standard with a more flexible "practical difficulty" test, potentially making variances easier to obtain. Local officials explain how this could affect projects like the Flower House redevelopment and future housing proposals, while they await court cases and state guidance to clarify the rules.
