FRANKLIN —

Debbie Drew was loading groceries into her car at Stop & Shop when she noticed a big white vehicle advertising itself as the Franklin Area Bus. She rushed over to get the skinny on what appeared to be the first public bus in town.

"Is this like a new service? Do we have a bus now?" she excitedly asked the driver. "Excellent!"

The Franklin Area Bus yesterday drove its first 13 passengers around town. It will run Monday through Saturday year-round with a regular fare of $1, 50 cents for the elderly, students and the disabled, and free for children under 6.

In the news - synchronized skaters

FRANKLIN —

Mastering the perfect spiral and finding the balance to glide on one ice skate requires discipline, patience and grace.

But imagine pulling off all those tricks in concert with a group of other ice skaters.

That's precisely what the 11 Chickenellas, Franklin's Symmetric Ice Crystals synchronized skating team, have challenged themselves to do.

Synchronized skating beats singles because everyone supports one another, said Caleigh Smith, 11, who prides herself on her back-lunges.

"You have to help each other. It's harder because if somebody next to you falls down, you have to help pick them up or else you fall down. You have to support each other," said Smith.

I thought I had another photo to show the front of the building but some other day we'll get that. In the meantime, ltsjs was correct in identifying these flags and row of cars along RT 140 as being part of the Keigan Chevrolet auto dealership.

Thanks for playing!

Stay tuned for the next photo of somewhere in Franklin.
