Its terribly upsetting news. I did not post a link because I'm not sure what the best source is on it but my son and all his friends were going or went to the camp. It is a super popular YMCA camp and very well run.

My heart goes out to the family and the camp.

I usually don't like to post news as I might get facts/links wrong but I figure other YMCAers might want to know this news and I know a lot of Newton families use the camps.

Newton’s food scene has continued to evolve since our last summary, with at least 10 openings and reopenings against eight closings. Seven of those 10 are one-of-a-kind local businesses. Overall, 61% of Newton’s 182 places to eat are independently owned, with an additional 15% being local chains and 24% regional or national chains.

In the absence of a clear plan to enable Newtonville station commuters to access the Worcester line during the upcoming station closure, I’ve created a survey to establish clarity on demand for a bridge shuttle to West Newton.

If you are impacted by the station closure, please take 3 minutes to take the survey and give your honest feedback on how desirable a service like this would be for you.

I've had an EcoSense monitor running continuously for a couple of years now, and this Summer I've seen the most consistent Radon spikes ever. It's not even necessarily following rains (since we don't get many of those). Anyone else seeing the same?

Looking for traditional Chinese food and wondering what Chinese people from the area actually recommend. I grew up in a Chinese household and am quite picky about Chinese restaurant food.

Looking for other Male athletes 21+ to join advanced level flag football league(December). Looking for a full time quarterback and some tall players! All are welcome but please let me know your athletic background. Serious athletes only!

Hey! Any recommendations for my 4 year old to get some experience/exposure to soccer? Seems like he is interested. Looking for a fun and welcoming experience

"Cool" how the article doesn't even bother to mention the purpose of the covered ramps: To keep rain, snow, and ice off the ramps, especially beneficial for people using wheelchairs and using canes or walkers, or any people who are vulnerable to slipping and falling.

An 8-0 vote trying to, at "best", erode, or at worst, delay an accessibility project, in the works for a decade, because the Newton Highlands Area Council didn't bother to review a 2023 design until August 2026. Show me any disability advocacy groups who agree weather protection is "unnecessary" as being claimed here.

Really incredible work from the NHAC.

Anywhere closer to Wellesley, my budget is around 1000

Did anyone see a hit and run in the target parking lot today around 5? Our car was hit while it was parked and the driver did not leave any contact info and the cameras were too far away to see anything clearly.

Figured to share this recent profile since it was from Newton News

So last fall I attended a PGA event and ended up taking some classes. Turns out I really enjoyed golfing, and I could see myself getting into it. Challenging, but can be done at a manageable pace and the best part of all, IT’s OUTDOORS for majority of the time.

Anyways that’s as much as I have played and I’m not confident nor do I have any friends that are into it. I was wondering if there’s anyone in the area who’s willing to golf with/ teach a newbie. I also live in Newton and drive by multiple golf clubs however, I’ve not got the courage to walk in there alone.

I promise I’m funny… if that helps. TIA
