Sunny, with a high of 86 and low of 60 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
The article title is VERY misleading; Summer Street is NOT being paved this year.
Thanks for raising that point, Brandon! The headline has now been changed to more clearly communicate that the article describes a summer schedule of street paving. I agree the initial headline could easily be read to mean, incorrectly, that Summer Street is being paved. Thanks for the helpful comment.
New Director of Human Resources. Money better spent towards the increased maintenance of the new Pine Hill megaplex or hiring aids.
Amazing. We must be flush with cash. Or will be beginning August 1st.
