Nothing like a water-main break in Framingham to ruin a perfectly good commute. WBZ's Traffic on the 3s says cars were stacked up past Southborough eastbound this morning thanks to the water-main problems at Prospect Street in Framingham.

Turns out Brookline Police have a surveillance camera trained on part of Rte. 9 and it captured a cruiser chasing somebody down the wrong side of the road crashing into a Chinese restaurant near Cypress Street last month. Wicked Local Brookline's posted the video.

Here's your chance to buy Shoppers' World.

Stephen Walsh posts some details and photos from a 5 a.m. blaze at 1160 Boylston St. in Brookline around 5 a.m.

That's because the power went out at what the Globe initially described as "a large mall in Framingham."

The Globe defines the Longfellow Bridge for its Rocky Mountain readers.

Wellesley Police report you can once again get off Rte. 9 at Rte 16. Woot!

Via the Swellesley Report, which is beside itself in amazement.

Wellesley Police have a spiffy new Web site (but where's the police log?). They've posted this video of some of the excitement in town during yesterday's storm:

Video of a burning, collapsing cell tower in Wellesley off Rte. 9 eastbound today.

Last month, our office moved from Southborough to Framingham. There are actually several reasons I'm a happy worker: For one thing, the new office is 10 or 15 minutes closer to home (yay for me, kinda sucks for co-workers living along 495). The building (that weird one at Old Connecticut Path and Speen Street that looks like the architects took a black-glass building up in a helicopter and then dropped it on top of a brick building) is much nicer. And I no longer have to worry about skidding into the reservoir along Rte. 9 down by the Edgewater apartments.

Spotted the other day on Rte. 9 at Oak Street; looks like Sealy hasn't repainted some of its trucks in awhile.
