Photo from a wild day. Not guilty on the major counts.
This is right after the verdict came down. Easily a crowd of hundreds up and down High Street in Dedham.

A couple hundred Karen Read supporters are arrayed outside Norfolk Superior Court and down the street as we wait for the defense team to come back out, after three questions from the jury.

Sometimes, there's nowhere to go but up.
138 Arlington Street is a tiny patch of leftover land, squeezed between two streets. Now, a developer is trying to build a house there.

A look into a growing suburban financial crisis. After 8 failed overrides over the last 35 years, Stoneham may now need to shut down town services once taken as a given.
The town of Stoneham could gut its library, recreation department, and other civic mainstays because of budget shortfalls. ow.ly/MUMA50VyZrc

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft spoke to the media saying he felt "terrible" for firing head coach Jerod Mayo but said it was necessary because he doesn't like losing. wbznewsradio.iheart.com/cont…
A day at Gillette (my first, after growing up practically in its shadow) --
Robert Kraft takes it all on his shoulders today, saying Jerod Mayo's short tenure here is "all on me." Decision made in last month. "If it was just personal, it would be different."

This was a fascinating look into the fight to keep one of the oldest houses in Massachusetts from being demolished. I spoke to George Sawin, whose great (x6) grandfather built it.
Things younger than this house:
- The piano
- Seltzer
- The United States of America
George Sawin can point to the house where his ancient ancestors lived out their lives. Soon, the structure might be torn down. ow.ly/swjO50UmCB6

I sat down with some of the leaders of this nascent movement. Wild, but a fascinating look at where some people are, post-election.
After this latest presidential election, the New England Independence Campaign sees an uptick in interest for their core ideology: splitting off from the U.S. to form a new sovereign country. ow.ly/fjBj50U8a9O

State Auditor Diana DiZoglio wants more transparency on Beacon Hill, so she’d like a look at their books. But leaders there say she doesn’t have the power – and shouldn’t. ow.ly/GkYv50TJYqe

Wondering whatever happened to Norwood Hospital in this whole Steward situation? We took a look:
What happens to Norwood Hospital with the Steward Health Care deal done? Long story short: it's a game of hurry up, and wait. ow.ly/g1eC50T3eqS

In case anyone was wondering about the story behind alllll those "Envy Apple" billboards. Great fun with this one.
Greater Boston has been flooded with a deluge of ads for one very specific apple variety. We set out to see where they came from. ow.ly/OJAU50R01GR
Had a lot of fun on the water with this one!
The oyster farming industry in Massachusetts has ramped up in the last decade, and now moves more than $30 million in oysters a year. The work goes on around the calendar, especially in Duxbury, an oyster hotspot.

This one was a wild ride that took a couple days to straighten out. An update on the final fate of the Seaport's "Immortal Pothole."
The MBTA shared a photo of a massive pothole in Seaport being fixed on Friday. A look at the Assessor's Office map showed the T owns a tiny strip of road at the end of the street.
