Today's riddle: What do you call a belt made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. One Sent To Concord Hospital After Crash Between Vehicle And Scooter In The North End (patch.com) — A scooter rider was injured Saturday afternoon in a collision with a pickup truck at the Franklin and North State streets roundabout in Concord, leading to a two-hour partial road closure and an investigation. Police and fire crews responded, documented the scene, sought surveillance video, and the victim was taken to Concord Hospital with head and shoulder injuries.
2. Eastman School Reuse Committee: Heavy On Neighborhood Representation, Light On Real Estate Expertise (patch.com) — Concord residents are being tapped to guide the future sale and reuse of the former Eastman Elementary School, with a new advisory committee heavy on east-side neighborhood voices but light on real estate expertise. The story revisits earlier redevelopment concepts, highlights concerns about missing professional experience, and notes other Concord school properties that may also be sold or repurposed.
3. 2 Injured During Motorcycle Crash On Route 106 In Concord: Video (patch.com) — A motorcyclist and passenger were hurt in a Saturday afternoon crash on Route 106 near the Sam's Club entrance in Concord, prompting police to shut down part of Sheep Davis Road. Emergency crews transported the rider to Concord Hospital with knee injuries, and both individuals were later examined as officers interviewed witnesses and continued the investigation.
4. With larger developments slow going, a flush of smaller housing projects newly pitched in Concord (concordmonitor.com) — Concord is seeing a surge of smaller housing projects, from new apartment buildings to duplex conversions, as city leaders push development to ease high rents. Several projects across the city, including Steeplegate Mall's first housing phase, Fisherville Road's expanded affordable units, and new duplexes in South End and Penacook, are moving forward under recently relaxed zoning and parking rules.
5. High school girls' soccer season outlook and previews (concordmonitor.com) — Concord High's girls soccer team enters the new season under first-year head coach Kevin Parsons, aiming to return to the Division I playoffs after a tough 5-11 campaign. The preview also spotlights Bow, Pembroke, Merrimack Valley, John Stark and other nearby programs, outlining returning standouts, key newcomers, and which rival teams they'll need to beat.
