Today's riddle: What is always in front of you but can never be seen? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• The Magical Lakeside Town In Massachusetts That Feels Like A Fairy Tale (takingthekids.com) — Shrewsbury takes center stage here as a lakeside town where Lake Quinsigamond, Dean Park, Newton Pond, and Mill Pond shape daily life and weekend escapes. You will also find the much-loved Shrewsbury Secret Garden, colonial-era neighborhoods, and the Artemas Ward House, all reinforcing the town’s year-round, storybook feel just east of Worcester.
• MIAA high school baseball tournament preview (bostonherald.com) — St. John’s of Shrewsbury heads into the MIAA baseball tournament as a dangerous No. 4 seed, one of only two teams to beat top-ranked BC High and a potential opponent in a high-stakes rubber match. The statewide preview highlights deep pitching, powerful lineups, and several other contenders across all divisions that Shrewsbury fans may face or follow.
• Worcester County Wonders: Restoring history one milestone at a time (telegram.com) — Shrewsbury’s colonial-era mile markers along the old Upper Boston Post Road are part of a broader restoration of 1767 milestones from Boston to Springfield. Local markers near Dean Park and the Artemas Ward House highlight how MassDOT and historians are preserving these wayfinding stones while debunking myths about Benjamin Franklin’s role and inviting residents to report any damaged markers.
