There’s always another game is a common-used cliche in sports, but come tournament-time that couldn’t be further from the truth. On this night, either the Bears of Greater New Bedford (GNB), the No. 4 seed at 17-4, or the Raiders of Watertown, the No. 13 seed at 10-2-7, would be left with no choice but to look back on a successful season, but left feeling empty. Unfortunately, it’s the Raiders left feeling that way after coming up short at Greater New Bedford 4-2 in the MIAA Div. 3 Round of 16 Boys Soccer Tournament.

The past several months have been tough for businesses in Coolidge Square with the road construction and utility work on Mt. Auburn Street. While the project is expected to last another three years, heavy construction is largely done until spring and City and construction officials have committed to improving communication with business owners.
During the week of Nov. 10 some areas of Mt. Auburn Street will be closed and traffic will be detoured as road reconstruction continues in East Watertown. See details provided by the City of Watertown, below.

It’s the last weekend in April, and the earlier showers have brought out plenty of flowers already. I don’t have any Friday events, so simply hit the local streets to smell the flowers, view the YardArt and stretch your legs. All day Saturday there is a pottery sale at Indigo Fire Pottery Studio. They have a special discount on Intelligentsia coffee if you buy a vessel to put it in. Saturday evening you can join in the celebration of a new opening at the Armenian Museum of America. Check out this enticing example of the art of artist Varujan Boghosian in this combination portrait and landscape. Sunday afternoon, if the weather looks enticing, enjoy the brilliantly flowering trees at Mount Auburn Cemetery while you learn about the Shakespeare quotes on the gravestones and monuments. One is for the brother of John Wilkes Booth. Also that afternoon is a creative movement workshop with Tiffany Sankary, that looks like it might be good for my stiff upper body. View art, buy art, hear about the ancient art of poetry, and move as art. May the art be with you!
