Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Milton Considers Future For Old Firehouse (iheart.com) — Milton officials are weighing three competing ideas for the soon-to-be-empty fire station at 525 Adams Street, including housing the town's ambulance provider or redeveloping it for mixed commercial and retail use. Residents are split between preserving the historic building for emergency services and opening it to new purposes, and the Select Board plans to revisit the proposals at a meeting next week.
2. Eva Timlin's game-winning goal earns MassLive Athlete of the Week honors (masslive.com) — Milton High's girls soccer team just earned statewide recognition as forward Eva Timlin captured MassLive's Athlete of the Week after scoring the game-winner in a tight 1–0 victory over Braintree. Coach Kevin Gorham praised the Wildcats' grit in a demanding Bay State Conference stretch that's seen four straight one-goal wins. Milton now carries a 6-2-1 record into an away matchup at Natick.
3. Why Milton's closest legal cannabis option sits in Dorchester, not home (naludamagazine.com) — Milton residents seeking legal recreational cannabis still have to travel to Dorchester because the town banned retail shops when Massachusetts' market opened in 2018. This piece explains how that vote, and state rules tying local control to ballot results, keep dispensaries out of town while nearby communities host them. It also outlines the Dorchester store's $40 minimum and the taxes locals can expect to pay.
4. Best Small Cities to Visit in USA 2026: Explore Lexington, Apex, Saratoga and More (travelandtourworld.com) — Milton earns a spot on an additional top-ten list of small U.S. cities highlighted as appealing, lower-key travel destinations in 2026. While the story focuses most on Lexington and other towns, it frames Milton as part of a group offering New England charm, historic centers, and quieter alternatives to big tourist hubs, especially for visitors willing to plan transport and drive.
