Today's riddle: Where do math teachers go on vacation? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 10 Lookout Avenue, Natick, MA (bostonherald.com) — A Natick home at 10 Lookout Avenue is scheduled for a foreclosure auction on Sept. 11, 2026, at 1 p.m. on the property. If you're interested in bidding, you'll need a $10,000 certified deposit and must cover any outstanding local taxes, fees, and other recorded obligations tied to the property.
2. Natick turning to Town Meeting for Charles River park funds after state rejects grant bid (natickreport.com) — Natick officials are turning to Fall Town Meeting to seek Community Preservation Act funds for renovating South Natick's Charles River parks after a $1.24 million state grant request was denied. If approved, the 1% CPA property tax surcharge you pay would help overhaul Grove Park and the nearby multi-purpose park, while Old Town Park improvements wait on archaeological reviews and future grants.
3. Some Natick residents are upset an iconic dam has been removed: "Now it's just bland" (cbsnews.com) — Natick residents are reacting strongly to the removal of the South Natick dam on the Charles River, a longtime local landmark now replaced by a lower, muddier river view. Town officials say safety concerns and structural deterioration drove the decision, while neighbors and business owners debate whether losing the waterfall's charm is worth the environmental and safety benefits.
4. Commonwealth ofMassachusetts... (bostonherald.com) — A recent Middlesex Probate and Family Court notice names Justin B. Hoyt of Natick as the personal representative for the estate of Sandra M. Hoyt, whose will has entered informal probate. If you're an interested party, you can request documents and, if needed, petition the court to shift the case into formal proceedings or challenge how the estate is being handled.
