The Route 1 Auto Mile is a major artery for car buying in greater Boston
REGION – To those not familiar with the area, anyone driving along a certain stretch of U.S. Route 1 southwest of Boston may surmise it is a premiere destination for car shoppers. They would not be wrong. Cleverly dubbed the Auto Mile, the road is dotted with a wide variety of vehicle dealerships from Norwood to Westwood to Dedham and it really took off with the car buying mania in the 1950s and 1960s. Having convenient proximity to Boston made Route 1 the perfect spot for car sales. As traffic increased over time, so did the number of dealerships who planted roots.

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.

At 26, Ex-Holbrook High star restarts his hoops career at Quincy College
QUINCY -- Even though it's been a while, Kyree LaPlanche vividly remembers the feeling of getting buckets in a crowded gym with fans cheering him on. It was a much more subdued atmosphere at South West Middle School on Wednesday night, Nov. 4. No applause reverberating off the walls here, just the squeak of sneakers on the hardwood, occasionally drowned out by head coach Jamall Griffin barking orders at his Quincy College men's basketball team. Still, the relative quiet was music to LaPlanche's ears. The former Holbrook High star has spent four years away from basketball, but now, at the ripe old age of 26, he's eagerly using up his one season of junior-college eligibility. "Man, it's so fun being out here and being able to compete with these guys," LaPlanche, a 5-foot-9 guard, said during a break in what was shaping up as a three-hour Granite practice on the eve of the 2026-27 season opener. "Just being able to have this opportunity means a lot to me. I don't take any of these moments for granted, especially going through the journey that I've been on. It's been a lot. I'm really grateful to be out here." LaPlanche graduated from
