Bronzetti's ends Columbus Club venture to refocus on Eagles location

One of the biggest challenges of owning and operating a restaurant is keeping it clean and rodent-free, especially in an older building. This is the top priority of Bubba Bronzetti, owner of Bronzetti's Pizza & Kitchen after a recent routine health inspection at the restaurant's location at South Framingham Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge , 55 Park St, found 10 violations, including rodent droppings and a mouse sighting. All of the violations have been corrected and Bronzetti did not have to shut down, but soon after, he announced the termination of his restaurant's brief partnership with The Columbus Club, where he was operating a catering business. Bronzetti said the two developments are not directly related. The inspection occurred at the Eagles, not the Columbus Club. But he acknowledged that trying to operate at two locations stretched him thin and diverted his attention from the restaurant at the Eagles, where Bronzetti’s has operated for about four years. "I think the Columbus took my focus away from the Eagles, where it began to kind of slip a little bit," Bronzetti said. Bronzetti and fiancée Melissa Hanna had concentrated on building the Columbus Club operation while employees managed the Eagles restaurant. More: USA

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

Old Rochester football risks it all to beat Hudson in thriller

HUDSON — It was all or nothing for the Old Rochester football team . In overtime of the Division 6 state quarterfinal, the No. 7 Bulldogs trailed second-seeded Hudson by a point when Old Rochester’s players made the decision to go for two and the win instead of settle for the tie. “The kids said, ‘Coach let’s go for the win,’” said Old Rochester head coach Bryce Guilbeault. “I said, ‘Let’s do it.’” Senior Matt Tobin bullied his way into the end zone for two points to lift the Bulldogs to a thrilling 22-21 upset win over the previously undefeated Hawks on Thursday, Nov. 12. “I’m happy for Matt,” Guilbeault said. “He’s been overlooked all year. He’s done some great things and he’s a selfless guy.
