I don't always get over to Oak St in my daily travels so when going by yesterday I managed to pause a moment to snap this photo.
Yes, I did pull over, parked safely and then took the picture.
Be safe and enjoy!

“Overall, the budget is only up about 2 percent. … It’s a pretty modest budget. We still are near the bottom in all spending categories for towns our size,” Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting said.
Unfunded health insurance liability, stormwater management and roads are potential fiscal hardships for 2014, Nutting said.
School Committee Chairwoman Paula Mullen presented her committee’s proposed $52.7 million budget, up from about $51.1 million this year.
