Brookline Town Election was this week, electing Kristen Uekermann to the Library Trustee position. The Walk for Hunger also came through Brookline earlier today.
Our poll this week, "Where Should We Take Mom for Brunch in Brookline?" began on Monday. With elections on Tuesday, we also ran a list of Who's Running for Town Meeting Member.
