What photo says Framingham to you?
Calling all Framingham photographers: We need your help. Later this month, the Framingham Patch page on Facebook will transition to the new timeline format. For those of you that have already embraced the new format on your personal page, you know that one giant photo dominates the screen.

Irene is an unwelcomed guest this weekend, ruining the last weekend before school starts for Framingham families. Forecasters are predicting that Irene will strike Massachusetts, including Framingham, as a tropical storm. She may not be a hurricane when she arrives, but she'll likely still have strong winds to knock down trees and power lines and could drop as much as a half a foot of rain, causing localized flooding and water in basements. Framingham Patch will be working around-the-clock to cover the storm, but we can't be everywhere in town, so our coverage will be better with some help from you, our loyal readers.
