Today's riddle: Is there anybody completely useless? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Real Estate Sales Slow In Bedford In August 2026, According To Data (patch.com) — Bedford homebuyers saw a notably slow August, with just 15 single-family properties changing hands, priced between $535,000 and $1.65 million. Six of those sales topped the $1 million mark, offering insight into the town's still-pricey housing market despite reduced activity.
2. Traffic to shift Bedford Toll Plaza removal continues (unionleader.com) — Drivers in Bedford will soon see traffic on the F.E. Everett Turnpike shifted to the outside lanes as the former Bedford Toll Plaza is demolished and converted to all‑electronic tolling. The $16 million project, slated to finish in fall 2027, aims to improve safety at a spot that has seen several serious crashes while allowing vehicles to move through at highway speeds.
3. Keene High field hockey outlasts Dover in OT (keenesentinel.com) — Keene High's field hockey team edged Dover 1–0 in overtime, adding to a strong stretch that already includes quality wins over Bedford and Concord. With Keene sitting near the top of Division I, Bedford fans can see how their team's earlier matchup fits into a tight playoff race and how Keene's defense‑first style is shaping the standings.
4. New Hampshire Cold Case Seminar Draws Investigators From All 6 New England States (patch.com) — New Hampshire's Cold Case Unit recently hosted investigators from all six New England states to strengthen cooperation on long‑unsolved crimes, including cases tied to communities like Bedford. Officials highlighted new forensic tools, investigative genetic genealogy, and a regional network aimed at finally identifying victims and solving decades‑old homicides and disappearances, while urging the public to share any tips they may have.
