The expansion of a Target store into an empty next-door building means fresh produce and other groceries to fill a food-shopping gap in Somerville’s Ward 2 neighborhood.

Concert Preview: Dweezil Zappa Carries the Torch for His Father

Celebrating 20 years of keeping Frank Zappa’s complex music alive, Dweezil brings the DZ20: Like Father, Like Son Tour to Medford’s Chevalier Theatre. Musical iconoclast Frank Zappa died in 1993. Thirteen years later, his son Dweezil, fearful that his father’s audience—a Boomer blend of sophisticates and stoners—was dying out, took the reins in assembling a band to play the elder Zappa’s extraordinary repertoire. Though Frank left us at the tender age of 52, he was a prolific composer of unusual, if not impossible, breadth and complexity. Partly because of that—and partly because of the salty language he was known for—radio has generally stayed away from his music, except for rare novelty pieces such as “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” “Dancin’ Fool,” and “Valley Girl.” In 2006, Dweezil, wielding the optimal mix of genetic makeup and musical talent, took on this considerable challenge.

Rollie Anderson, respected 'shoe-leather' detective, dies at 83

For many, retired Weston Deputy Police Chief Roland "Rollie" Anderson was known as a hard-working investigator that would chase leads the old-fashioned way and was a fountain of information he shared with anyone who needed it. But for his granddaughter, Anderson was and "incredible grandfather.” Anderson of Waltham, died on Tuesday, Nov. 3. He was 83 years old. "He was the most incredible grandfather anyone could ever ask for,” said granddaughter Kellie Hofferty. “He was kind and sweet and soft-spoken. He was always proud of you, no matter what, and he always made sure you knew how proud of you he was.” Anderson, a lifelong Waltham resident, joined the Weston Police Department in 1969 and remained until he retired in 2008 as deputy chief. Throughout his career, Anderson developed a reputation beyond just Weston – police from Boston, other surrounding communities, and even from out of state, would seek him out for his expertise on burglary investigations. He also specialized in crimes committed by “travelers,” which were known as gypsies back when Anderson first began as an officer, his friend and fellow retired officer Robert Millen said. ““He was a very, very dedicated police man,” said Millen. “And it’s not
