Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Natick church's Gale House demo on hold (natickreport.com) — St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Natick has paused its planned demolition of Gale House, delaying a key step in its broader renovation project after failing to reach a construction contract agreement. Church leaders say they're relieved to reconsider contractors and will keep using temporary chapel offices while they seek a better fit, asking parishioners to stay engaged and pray for progress.
• 12 Gentle Massachusetts Nature Walks That Deliver Fall Color Without a Hard Climb (newsbreak.com) — One of the easiest ways for Natick residents to enjoy fall color close to home is Mass Audubon's Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary, which offers flat trails, boardwalks, and good wildlife viewing. It's part of a statewide list of gentle walks, but Broadmoor stands out for its mix of ponds, woods, and fields, plus family-friendly amenities and clear visiting hours.
• Brookfield to Secure $400M Refinancing for Natick Mall Outside Boston (realtytoday.com) — A major refinancing deal is in the works for Natick Mall, with Brookfield Properties set to secure a $400 million, five-year loan later this month to replace existing debt and fund costs. With nearly 94% occupancy and long-term leases, lenders see the Natick shopping center as a strong, stable asset, signaling continued confidence in top-tier malls even amid a mixed retail landscape.
