Today's riddle: What do you call a paper airplane that can't fly? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Run Medford Rescheduled After Previous Weather Postponement (patch.com) — Medford runners have a new date to circle as the postponed Run Medford 5K and 10K are now set for Saturday, Dec. 5, starting at City Hall. The races will wind through city streets and raise money for Medford schools, with registration reopened for new participants. Organizers say they're eager to reunite the community after September's weather-related delay.
• Medford High School to reopen Tuesday after large sewage backup forced students, staff to evacuate (boston25news.com) — Medford High School will reopen on Tuesday after a sewage backup forced an evacuation and early dismissal, but officials say all classes and activities will now run as scheduled. Crews have identified the source of the odor and are cleaning affected areas, and the district confirms Monday will still count toward the 180-day requirement, avoiding a makeup day for families.
• Students continue to apply to Pachyderm Place as construction enters final year (tuftsdaily.com) — A major new Tufts student apartment complex, Pachyderm Place, is rising right by the Medford/Tufts Green Line station and is on track to open in fall 2027. Developers say the all-electric building and added sidewalks, crosswalks, and Bluebikes station should boost safety and free up more Medford-area apartments for local working families while keeping students close to campus.
