CHESTNUT STREET SHOOTINGS
Mastodon Post

The attached Brattleboro Police Department post gives some idea of the seriousness of the shootings that took place on Chestnut Street. The prevailing opinion in Facebook comments is that the young man ought to be tried as an adult.

Who here thinks its smart to use a Moover bus as a getaway vehicle? Just wondering.

According to a BPD Facebook post, a 17 year old (evidently girl) was apprehended in connection with two shootings on Chestnut Street. The post was zipped off screen right away so I wasn't able to see the post's date and time.

CASEY MURROW
Mastodon Post

Here is an update on an excellent former area resident.

https://journalmagazine.co.uk/charles-casey-murrow/

Casey Murrow lived in Marlboro and worked in Brattleboro. He could be seen often on Main Street. I almost always saw him within yards of the post office.

This update was sent by a former Marlboro resident (and town health officer) Dr. Ira Weiner.

I'll attach a very short part of this article to give the general idea, briefly, for those who may not tackle the full article.

Campaigns are using AI for cheaper ads, but polls show voter trust drops when they see synthetic content. This is a big change from traditional campaign methods.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
Mastodon Post

Road and walkway surface technology in the United States leaves much to be desired. Chances are many of the Western Avenue potholes being filled this year were filled last year. A crater on the sidewalk on the Elm Street bridge was filled and now it isn't. These patches are hit or miss at best for endurance. At least, though, these Town employees are out there doing what they can. As for sidewalks, the people today who rebuild our sidewalks are doing a much better job than has been done in the past. We've got that going for us. A few of the curb cuts have been done differently - and better - such that the downward slant of driveways ends at the inner edge of the sidewalk, leaving the sidewalk, itself, level side-to-side. I hope whoever came up with this stroke of genius gets credit for making life better for Brattleboro pedestrians.
