 War on Terrorism Exhibit in Weston Posted on November 4, 2008 by bostonkayakguy |  “Linda Bond’s solo show “Pause”  presents viewers with portraits mainly based on photographs from newspaper stories about the war. “- Boston Globe West According to Wikipedia, gunpowder  was discovered in China in the 9th century by” Taoist monks-alchemists searching for an elixir of immortality.” In many ways gunpowder, certainly depending upon who’s using it, does have an impact on one’s immortality. *“Volunteer”/courtesy Boston Globe   Gunpowder also represents the possibility of combustion; being on the edge of something that could create a seismic shift in life as we know it.

That’s right!  Weston is no longer abstaining from having the sweet nectar of wine available on its store shelves. In response to petitioning from the owner of Omni Foods for many years, and in a nod to meeting the desires of its residents, Weston finally saw fit to lift the ban which prohibited the sale of wine within the town. The very first person to partake of the privilege of purchasing wine in Weston, was former Red Sox general manager and Weston resident Lou Gorman, who professed to being partial to white wine; not red.
