1. Nashua Garages Set For Beyond Walls Makeover Under 'Nashua in Motion' Project (patch.com) — Downtown Nashua's Elm and High Street parking garages are getting a major public art transformation under the "Nashua in Motion" project, running through Oct. 2. International artists working with Beyond Walls and the city will cover tens of thousands of square feet with designs meant to make the garages more welcoming, recognizable, and reflective of Nashua's energy and downtown character.
   

2. Nashua Police Warn Residents About Caller Scam Claiming Missed Court Dates (patch.com) — Nashua police are warning residents about a phone scam where callers pose as officers, claim you missed a court date, and demand immediate payment by gift cards, apps, or wire transfers. Officers stress they never collect fines by phone or threaten arrest for nonpayment, and urge anyone contacted to hang up, share the warning with vulnerable relatives, and verify any real court issues directly with the court.
   

3. Fatal Nashua fire revives questions about earlier arson case (wmur.com) — A deadly summer fire on Orange Street in Nashua, which killed resident Scott Thomas, is raising tough questions about why the 80-year-old man accused of setting it was free after an earlier arson case in Hudson was dismissed for incompetency. Family members, former landlords, and experts are scrutinizing gaps between the courts and Adult Protective Services, arguing the system failed to adequately protect Nashua neighbors from a known fire risk.
   

4. What To Know About Portsmouth's Dry Cellar Mocktail Shop (wjbq.com) — Nashua residents now have The Spot on Main Street as a fully alcohol-free hangout, offering mocktails, coffee, food, and regular live music. The piece also mentions similar sober-friendly venues in Portsmouth and Manchester, reflecting a broader trend toward alcohol-free social spaces that still feel lively, hip, and welcoming for people who don't drink.
   

5. Eduardo Lopez Jr. granted parole in deadly 1991 robbery in Nashua (unionleader.com) — A former Nashua resident convicted in a 1991 robbery-murder of local businessman Robert Goyette has been granted parole after his juvenile life-without-parole sentence was reduced under a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The parole board will now review his housing plan, after previously rejecting his proposal to live with family in Nashua, highlighting how old high-profile cases here continue to move through the justice system decades later.
