Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Sonic Drive-In in Stoughton Has Closed (blogspot.com) — Stoughton residents have lost their local Sonic Drive-In on Washington Street, which has closed and been removed from the chain's website after operating in the Town Center plaza since 2016. With this shutdown, the only remaining Sonic in the area is now in Peabody, following earlier closures in Lawrence and Wilmington.
2. Inside a Tiny House and Stoughton's Gingerbread Home (wcvb.com) — A longtime Stoughton couple has spent decades turning their Park Street-area house into a whimsical "gingerbread" landmark, complete with ornate trim, carvings, and bird feeders that delight neighbors and kids. Paired with a tiny steampunk house in New Hampshire, the story highlights how both households used creativity, patience, and craftsmanship to build homes that feel like livable works of art.
3. 9 Massachusetts Areas Where Black Bears Have Wandered Into View This Summer (takingthekids.com) — Stoughton joined a growing list of Massachusetts communities visited by a wandering black bear this July, with sightings in the Park Street and Third Street neighborhood prompting advice to secure trash and bird feeders. The piece compares Stoughton's experience with similar bear encounters in nearby towns, while highlighting the town's mix of quiet woodlands, commuter-rail access, and easy day-trip walking options.
4. 2026 Southern New England Fall ID Positional Data Dive (prepbaseballreport.com) — A recent Prep Baseball New England showcase in Woonsocket featured players from across the region, including Stoughton High catcher Jashmel Vasquez. Vasquez posted one of the event's fastest 60-yard dash times, top exit velocity, and leading catcher throwing metrics, putting Stoughton firmly on the radar for regional high school baseball talent.
