Five Things: Master of Puppets, Carrying a Torch and More

1) Play city planner

Ever walk by an empty storefront and think of a great use for the space? This week, we want to know what you’d like to see fill the old Cabot Farms Catering building on Broadway. One intriguing suggestion called for a musicians’ cooperative to take over the location. Add your voice to the conversation. 

2) Speak up for your cause

Thousands of runners use the Boston Marathon as a fundraising toll for their favorite charities. If you’re running for a cause this year, tell us about it here.

3) The marionettes are stringing you along

Charlotte Dore and Rosalita’s Puppets are back at the East Branch Library just in time for school vacation week. Watch their performance of Goldilocks and the Three Dragons starting at 11 a.m..

4) If you’ve got it bad…

Got a burning love in your heart and the courage to tell the world? Head down to the Center for the Arts at the Armory for their second Torch Night and bare your soul with a musical accompaniment. The music starts at 7 p.m..

5) Weather

Expect a warm day, with high temperatures in the lower 50’s. That’s not shabby for a late February day, even if it is accompanied by a stiff breeze.
