And it's not all about Paul Revere - hear about the ride of William Dawes, as told by Lancer Andrew Tobin, too.
Tomorrow, for many in Framingham, it is Marathon Monday, but it's also Patriots Day. And for the 236th time, there will be a re-enactment of the ride of Paul Revere and of fellow Patriot William Dawes, whom some may not know also rode that historic evening. The famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem recounts a historically-inaccurate account of the ride of Paul Revere. It also forget to note the ride of Dawes. During the Patriot's Day activities in Lexington today, Andrew Tobin of Franklin will recite a poem to remind the public of Dawes' place in history. Tobin, a member of the National Lancers, headquartered here in Framingham, will portray Dawes in a play in Lexington today. Tobin gave Framingham Patch a reading of his Dawes poem. (…

Headquartered in Framingham, the American Career Institute abruptly closed all of its locations across Massachusetts and the United States today, Jan. 9, unable to get credit to continue operating.

Adam Zahler of Framingham is traveling to Staten Island Saturday. He plans to help his brother "with the cleanup of his flooded home." Zahler said his brother tells him "people there need warm clothing, particularly coats and baby clothes. The weather is getting cold and there are many without power." If you have coats, warm clothing and or baby clothes please drop off on Zahler's porch tonight or very early Saturday morning. "My vehicle is not large, but I will take what I can," said Zahler. "My brother and his wife are okay and have a place to stay, though most of their belongings, other than what is in the bedrooms, is ruined.

Early on in the episode Sister Jude and Sister Mary Eunice read a newspaper from 1949 with the headline "Framingham Girl Missing." The reference set off a tweeting frenzy in MetroWest.
Wednesday night, Framingham fans of the FX TV show American Horror Story: Asylum might have gotten goosebumps when they saw the Town of Framingham featured in the Halloween episode. In its second season, American Horror Story's plot takes place in 1964 in an institution for the criminally insane. The episodes tell the stories of patients, doctors and nuns in the asylum. Famed actress Jessica Lange portrays Sister Jude, a sadistic nun, who runs the asylum. And in the Halloween episode entitled Nor'easter, a violent storm hits the asylum. (Very ironic for this week.) In this Halloween episode (#3 of the season) Sister Jude is haunted by her past and a group of patients plan an escape. Early on in the episode, Sister Jude and Sister Mary …

The Framingham reference was pretty freaky, but it’s always fun when a scary series grounds itself into reality. The 1949 newspaper story helped give more background into why Sister Jude is a nun, and even though the asylum isn’t in Framingham, it’s not too far away. I missed last Wednesday’s episode, but just caught up with it since I had it recorded on my Hopper. The huge amount of hard drive … more ›

I went to the Mass school. For two years it was a joke. nothing more than a high school. no instructors half the time. no control in the classroom. old technology, old software, change schedules many times, they only care about the federal and state money paid to them for the unemployed. that was the only reason they were open. they didn't give two s##ts for the students. they should be federally… more ›
