• Can College Campus Conversions Ease the Senior Housing Shortage? (multihousingnews.com) — Developers are eyeing Regis College in Weston as a potential site for new senior housing, part of a broader trend of converting or sharing college campuses to meet rising demand from older adults. For Weston residents, that could eventually mean new senior living options integrated with an active campus, though plans are still preliminary and depend on feasibility and approvals.
   

• Dan Brown (cbsnews.com) — WBZ-TV meteorologist Dan Brown, a longtime Massachusetts forecaster, spends much of his free time in Weston and Lynn, where he still has family ties. While he lives in East Longmeadow and works in both Boston and Springfield, he remains closely connected to communities like Weston through family visits, running, and local road races.
