Edith Nourse Rogers: the Woman Behind the Hospital Name

Many driving through Bedford past the Edith Nourse Rogers Veterans Memorial Hospital may not know about the woman memorialized by its name, Edith Nourse Rogers. She was a pioneer in many ways, but especially in her work supporting veterans. After her husband John Jacob Rogers was elected to Congress in 1912, she traveled with him to England and France, where she witnessed the injuries of soldiers returning from World War I. She was moved to volunteer for the American Red Cross.

It’s about to be hunting season in West Somerville – for rats. An order for pest control company sharpshooters to kill rats with air rifles was sent to committee Thursday by the City Council, proposed by Ward 7 city councilor Emily Hardt as a follow-up to a ban on poisons that might travel up the food chain and kill animals other than rats: If one method of control is taken away, another must take its place.

Nobscot housing plan shrinks again amid rezoning

A controversial housing proposal in Framingham's Nobscot neighborhood is continuing to shrink as city officials move closer to putting a rezoning request before the full City Council. The proposal from Waltham-based J & Co. calls for a residential development on around 30 acres near Edmands and Edgell roads on the north side of Framingham. The developer is seeking a zoning change that would allow higher density residential development on the property. An earlier version presented in February called for 416 units, including townhomes and multifamily buildings, but councilors said during a Nov. 9 Planning and Zoning Subcommittee meeting that the project's size has since been reduced to between 325 and 350 units with the final number still being discussed. When the property was considered for inclusion in the city's MBTA Communities zoning district in 2024, proposals contemplated the potential for more than 1,000 units. The parcel was ultimately excluded from the city's final MBTA zoning map. Since then, the scale of the development has continued to shrink amid opposition from residents. Councilors would like proposal to go before full council During the meeting, District 6 Councilor Phil Ottaviani said that he would like to see this proposal go before the
