Tuesday Night's Board of Selectmen meeting was more than just phone books and commendations.
Some of the big stories from the Selectmen's meeting on Tuesday night were the suggestion by fourth and fifth graders of a phone book opt-in program, and commendations for Brookline Police officers. There was a full meeting scheduled with other items for discussion. Students from the Park School's fourth and fifth grade classes presented their ideas for a phonebook opt-in program.

@MoonBeamWatcher. FYI...many people that come to the Farmer's Market (please note that I have NO association with it), come on foot. We live in CC and have no CAR...that being said the street where we do live is OFTEN filled with merchant parking tags (on a daily basis)...making it impossible to park in front of my own dwelling (if I had a car) or for others to do so. This is an impact that we … more ›
