📰 News we're reading

• The best local Halloween displays of 2026 in RI, Mass. (wpri.com) — Bristol families can enjoy two standout neighborhood Halloween displays this month: The Terra Haunt on Bayview Avenue and Petrifying Peckham on Peckham Place, both running nightly with lights, animatronics, and music. These free, family-friendly shows now draw hundreds of trick-or-treaters and are timed evening events, giving residents easy, close-to-home options for spooky fun without leaving town.
   

• I3 Broadband Fiber in Bristol: Streets and T-Mobile Deal (upriseri.com) — If you live on Casey, Sullivan, Tobin, Hope, Tupelo, Herzig, Dolly, or Patricia Ann in Bristol, i3 Broadband is installing new underground fiber that could bring much faster internet speeds to your home. The town has approved the work, but exact availability and pricing still depend on i3's address checker, and a pending T-Mobile joint venture may eventually change who runs the service and how rates evolve.
