Alumnus will buy land, drop legal case against Anna Maria College

PAXTON – An Anna Maria College alumnus who alleges the college reneged on a promise to gift him part of the campus has agreed to drop his claim and buy the land, court records show. David Roy of Paxton, who sought in August to bar the college from selling 2.4 acres he claimed was rightfully his, reached an agreement to buy the plot for $175,000, court records show. Roy, whose parents owned the college’s food service for three decades, has presented evidence in court that Anna Maria offered to gift him the land in 2023 to “right” an unspecified “wrong,” but ultimately reneged. A Worcester Superior Court judge last summer barred Anna Maria from selling the disputed land, and his lawyers this summer asked a judge to find he held “equitable title” to it and prevent the college from selling it. The college, citing lack of interest, canceled its bankruptcy sale of the entire campus last month, noting at the time it planned to sell 2.4 acres to an unspecified bidder. Recently filed court documents show a judge approved sale of the property to Roy, and that he had agreed to dismiss his legal claims after the sale closes. Roy,

This Massachusetts Flea Market Turns Into A Treasure Hunter’s Paradise Only Three Times A Year

Six days. Three months a year. Hundreds of vendors stretched along both sides of one country road, selling everything from 1800s furniture to taxidermy. That alone made me stop scrolling. Then I learned admission is free, and the whole thing runs rain or shine from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in May, July, and September.

Leicester voters approve $50 million school renovation project

LEICESTER – Voters in Leicester approved a ballot measure that will raise $13 million to expand vocational programming at Leicester High School. Voters approved the measure, which appeared on the Nov. 3 ballot as Question 10, by a margin of 2,947 votes in favor to 1,793 opposed, according to preliminary results published by the Leicester Town Clerk's office. The measure approves $13 million from the Leicester tax base to contribute to an overall $49.8 million project to expand vocational options for students and renovate several buildings on Leicester High's campus. The remaining money will come from state funds, already approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority, and grants the district has already received. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the residents of Leicester for supporting the LHS building/renovation project and the expansion of Career Technical Education," Leicester Superintendent Brett Kustigian stated in a letter to the community. "The approval of this project, combined with the significant investment, is historic and it will benefit our entire community for years to come. Thank you for your trust, vision and commitment to our students." The project involves renovating several buildings the district acquired in 2022 following the closure of Becker College.

Inside Boston's Forgotten Subway Tunnel, Rusted Tracks and Cold War Crackers

Beneath the streets of Boston sits a tunnel that hasn't carried a passenger since the 1960s, but still holds the rusted tracks, ventilation fans and switch box from when it helped launch the nation's first subway system. NBC10 Boston went inside the forgotten passage, part of the historic Tremont Street Subway, and found it frozen in time, down to stacked civil-defense ration cans left over from the Cold War.
