• July Real Estate Snapshot from Registry of Deeds (town.news) — Quincy homeowners are part of a Norfolk County market that stayed active in July, with more sales and mortgages but also a small rise in completed foreclosures. If you're struggling with payments, the Registry highlights help from Quincy Community Action Programs, NeighborWorks Housing Solutions, and the state Attorney General's office so residents can seek assistance before problems worsen. 
• The Boston Navy Yard in the First World War: The Ships and the Boats (nps.gov) — Quincy's Fore River Shipyard and nearby Squantum yards played a major role in building destroyers and submarines that powered the U.S. Navy's World War I effort. This deep dive into the Boston Navy Yard highlights how many of those locally built vessels were finished and commissioned in Charlestown before heading to Europe, underscoring the South Shore's lasting imprint on naval history.
• RWA Tokenization in Capital Markets (blockchain-council.org) — Quincy recently issued $10 million in municipal bonds on JPMorgan's Onyx blockchain network, a real-world example of how tokenization is reshaping capital markets. The article explains how putting bonds and funds on blockchain can streamline settlement, improve record-keeping, and enable programmable features, while stressing that traditional securities laws and investor protections still fully apply.
