Fire station sidewalk update
I forgot to mention that coming home from the train station on Tuesday I came by the new fire station and the sidewalk had already been torn up. Let's hope that this time when they pour the concrete, they put a few more signs and ropes around to keep the walkers away.

What could Franklin do?
What can 10 million dollars and a community do together?
Make a commercial, of course!
Would the money have been better spent elsewhere? on something more important than beer? There might be something to discuss on that topic.
Guinness just launched "Tipping Point", the most expensive TV ad in its 80-year marketing history, with a domino rally that features cars, flaming hay bales and grandfather clocks. Shot up an Argentinian mountain, the ad shows a community coming together to create the mother of all domino-toppling spectacles. Genius! (Production cost: $10 million)

Zip Skinny
This is a slick web site that gathers and presents information from the 2000 Census for a specific zip code. I set this up for Franklin. Once on the site, you can change the zip code to check another one, or compare up to ten others with Franklin.
Have fun!
Have fun!

The bakery has closed or moved to an unknown location
We stopped for coffee on Saturday as Dolores and I did our walk. They weren't open when we passed on Sunday. They won't normally be open on Sunday but due to their grand opening were going to be. I went back in the afternoon to get a baguette.
Sliced and warmed in the oven, the baguette was a perfect companion for some supper's home-made Venus de Milo soup.

This bakery just opened at 357 Union St. It moved to Franklin from Bellingham.

Senior Center: path to Oak St/Horace Mann
One of the better things I noticed about the new Senior Center, is that the fence previously dividing the property from the next door Oak Street Elementary, Horance Mann Middle and the Early Childhood Development Center School complex was taken down and enhanced with a path way.
A bridge for the generation gap!
Two critical populations for Franklin now have a way to connect. Let's encourage both the seniors and the schools to make good use of this path.
