Five Things You Need to Know: June 24

Tanglewood Run reverses the Marathon course, Chamber of Commerce hosts golf and Coolidge stays up late.

 
  1. Today's weather promises to be cloudy with some possible showers, not unlike yesterday. NOAA estimates about a 50% chance of precipitation, for most of the day. Friday night could be about a 60% chance of rain, about a tenth to a quarter-inch of rain.
  2. Head over to watch the Brookline Chamber of Commerce Golf Tourney. Sign in at 7 a.m. at the Robert T. Lynch Municipal Golf Course, for the game which starts at 8 a.m. Registration closed on June 3, but there are raffles, contests and other giveaways available on the green. 
  3. Expect some delays during the Tanglewood Run, which kicks off the Boston Symphony Orchestra's season. This is a 150-mile relay race, and Brookline gets most of the first leg. It kicks off from Symphony Hall at 1 p.m., and takes a route through Brookline that's effectively the Boston Marathon in reverse. The route goes down Beacon Street, takes a left onto Chestnut Hill Avenue, and then Commonwealth Avenue past Boston College. 
  4. "The Bostons" a book by Author Carolyn Cooke is a novel about the first female student at The Goode School, a brilliant black young lady who's caught in the warpath of the headmaster, a man who calls himself "God." At 7 p.m., the Brookline Booksmith hosts Cooke for a book signing. 
  5. Every now and again, a movie comes along with a title that gives you all the information you need about the film. Tonight, Coolidge After Midnite hosts one such film: Hobo with a Shotgun. In a city overrun by crime, the Hobo (Rutger Hauer) realizes that he can clean up the city, but that he must do so with a shotgun. Show starts at 11:59 p.m. at Coolidge Corner Theatre, tickets cost $9. The show is co-presented by the Boston Underground Film Festival.
