Today's riddle: What did one wall say to the other? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Nearly 100 MA Cats Surrendered; Urgent Need For Kitty Adopters Across Bay State Shelters (patch.com) — An urgent call is going out to Salem-area animal lovers after MSPCA Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem took in 28 of nearly 100 surrendered cats from Worcester and Berkshire counties, straining capacity across the state. Residents are encouraged to adopt, foster, donate, or volunteer to help care for roughly 300 cats and kittens now in MSPCA shelters, with many expected to be available for adoption this week.
• Former President Barack Obama visiting Massachusetts today (boston25news.com) — Former President Barack Obama is speaking at Salem State University tonight as part of the Salem State Series, drawing a sold-out crowd of students, faculty, alumni, and local residents. University leaders say his visit underscores Salem State's focus on civic engagement and bringing national voices directly to the North Shore community.
• Accessible Salem: Rolling through history, cobblestones and witch trial stories (springfieldnewssun.com) — If you navigate Salem with a wheelchair, scooter, or walker, this guide says the city's historic streets are bumpy but manageable with planning. It highlights the Salem Witch Museum's elevator and helpful staff, urges calling ahead about older buildings, and stresses researching accessible parking and mobility-friendly tours before you visit during busy spooky-season crowds.
