Today's riddle: Why was the scarecrow given an award? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'Nashua in Motion': Artists transform downtown parking garages into works of art (inklink.news) — Downtown Nashua's Elm Street and High Street parking garages now feature large, colorful murals created in under three weeks through a partnership between the city and public art nonprofit Beyond Walls. International street artists reimagined the garages as welcoming gateways that reflect Nashua's history and growth, with more artwork and sculptures planned as part of a $1.1 million renovation and beautification phase.
2. Bishop Guertin football beat Bedford for the first time in four years (inklink.news) — Bishop Guertin's varsity football team stayed undefeated at 5-0 with a 33-7 home win over Bedford at Nashua's Stellos Stadium, their first victory over Bedford in four years. Senior receiver Rocco Roy caught two touchdowns, while a stingy Cardinal defense recorded four sacks and held Bedford scoreless until late in the game.
3. Family shares how man helped stop shooting at Sky Meadow Country Club (wmur.com) — A Nashua family is sharing how a quick-thinking diner used a barstool to help disarm an alleged gunman during last year's Sky Meadow Country Club shooting, which killed one person and injured two others. They describe lingering trauma, their cautious return to dining out locally, and their close attention to the accused shooter's trial, with jury selection scheduled for June 2027.
4. In Service to America: Capt. John Quincy Adams Warren, brave soldier with a short career (inklink.news) — A new installment in a local veterans series highlights Capt. John Quincy Adams Warren, who moved to Nashua as a teenager, worked in its mills and fire department, and later died leading troops in the Civil War. His remains were ultimately returned to Nashua's Woodlawn Cemetery, where townspeople and fellow firefighters honored him with a monument that still connects his story to the city today.
5. NH charitable gaming system faces calls for more oversight (nhpr.org) — New Hampshire's booming charitable gaming industry is drawing scrutiny over how casino revenues are funneled to nonprofits, just as major new casinos, including one planned in Nashua, are expected to push revenues toward $1 billion. Lawmakers and watchdogs are debating modest changes, like limiting how many days charities can benefit, while some argue the state needs much stronger oversight of who gets money and how it's spent.
