"Fans of Firehouse Subs in Franklin Village Plaza will need to look elsewhere for a sandwich fix now that the shop is closed.
Customers this week were met with papered-over windows, a blank spot above the door where the shop’s sign was hanging, and a typed note on the door informing them of the shop’s permanent closure.
It is unclear when the shop shut its doors. Word was still spreading among customers as of Monday, with expressions of surprise shared on social media.
John MacLennan, of Plainville, said he noticed the sub shop was closed over the Thanksgiving holiday. The shop was still open as recently as Nov. 25."

"Massachusetts is trending toward its long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, but the effort to reduce global emissions is failing, according to a new United Nations report.
“The summary findings are bleak,” the UN reported in the 10th edition of its emissions gap report. “Countries collectively failed to stop the growth in global GHG emissions, meaning that deeper and faster cuts are now required.”
The report, prepared by scientists who assessed “all available information,” concluded that greenhouse gas emissions have risen at a rate of 1.5% per year in the last decade, and total greenhouse gas emissions reached a record high in 2018. Emissions from energy use and industry grew 2% in 2018.
The UN said there’s a growing political focus on “the climate crisis” in several countries, driven in part by protests, and that “technologies for rapid and cost-effective emission reductions have improved significantly.”
"The annual Sustainable Development Goals Report provides an overview of the world’s implementation efforts to date, highlighting areas of progress and areas where more action needs to be taken to ensure no one is left behind.From the UN page on the SDG Report 2019
Four years since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, the 2019 Report notes progress in some areas, such as on extreme poverty reduction, widespread immunization, decrease in child mortality rates and increase in people’s access to electricity, but warns that global response has not been ambitious enough, leaving the most vulnerable people and countries to suffer the most."
