Hey! My 14yo is writing a paper on formative books people read when they were about 12 years old. She wants to cast a wide net for percentage reasons, so I'm curious: What book did you read when you were 12 that really shaped you or your reading preferences for the future?

Looks like some gravity waves over Western York, Cumberland and into Oxford counties coming out of New Hampshire. Should be seeing some big totals by the end of the storm.

The message outside Dragon Pizza in Somerville today after the pizza review heard around the country.

And now… Winter Hill School is closed for the rest of the 2023 school year because the building is unsafe 😱. No communicated plans for where the 400 students will go for the rest of the year. This is atrocious @katjballantyne #somerville #somervilleschools

@jake4somerville @BenForWard3 @somerbikesafety Thank you Jake.

@TheChefdePlunge @BenForWard3 @somerbikesafety Echoing @benforward3's sentiments. I've updated isthecommunitypathextensionopen.com accordingly.

This morning I was biking home from dropping my son off at school and a car ran me off the road on School street and into the construction site. I'm FINE, shaken up, but I'm wondering WHEN IS THE SOMERVILLE BIKE PATH EXT OPENING? @jake4somerville @somerbikesafety @BenForWard3

@BenForWard3 @jake4somerville @somerbikesafety Thank you. That’s frustrating news, but at least now we have a new timeline!

@TheChefdePlunge @jake4somerville @somerbikesafety I’m so, so sorry to hear this and thank goodness you weren’t hurt. Here is (very frustrating news from the MBTA) yesterday: mass.streetsblog.org/2023/04/27/unr…
