📰 News we're reading

• Prescott IOS Secures Rare Boston Yard Space for Eastern Bus Company (bostonrealestatetimes.com) — Eastern Bus Company has lost its Newton yard to a multifamily redevelopment and has relocated operations to a new outdoor storage site in West Roxbury. While the new Boston yard keeps routes running across the inner suburbs, it also underscores how redevelopment pressures are squeezing industrial space options for companies that once relied on Newton locations.
   

• OBITUARY: Constance Gorfinkle (hinghamanchor.com) — Constance "Connie" Gorfinkle, who grew up in Newton and graduated from Newton North High School, has died at 91 after a long life devoted to the arts and community service. Her journey from Newton to Hingham included decades as an arts critic, climate advocacy, and deep involvement in her church, leaving a legacy that may resonate with longtime Newton residents who remember her or her family.
