Gothic Ghost Tales at the Hopkinton Public Library

By contributor,

Some of the most imaginative and original writers of ghost stories in the 20th century have been women. They helped create the modern ghost: a mixture of the old-fashioned Victorian gothic and science fiction. Rita Parisi from Waterfall Productions will present three ghost stories that probe the possibilities of other dimensions in time and human consciousness at the Hopkinton Public Library.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Special Town Meeting, the date has been changed from Monday, October 26 to Monday, November 9 at 6:30 PM.

Suitable for ages 10 and up.

Zoning Board of Appeals Denies Anti-CVS Group

By Tom Nappi, News Director

After two days of public hearings, this Wednesday 10/14 and last Wednesday 10/7, the Zoning Board of Appeals have denied the appeal against CVS Pharmacy. A group of Hopkinton residents filed an appeal to prevent CVS from being built at the location of the former Colella's building arguing that CVS is a "healthcare facility" and not retail, therefore it should be barred from the former Colella's because of a town bylaw preventing health services facilities from being built at that location.
