. Ah yes back to my favorite Plumicorn, or the series of posts when I solve various issues in town in spite of no background in the area under discussion. Following up from this post on the Intersection of Doom (Church, Boston Post Road and School Street), the Owl was questioned under bright light about what the police were doing
Read moreGiven the number of responses the Owl received from her suggestion for Tavern on the Square to move into the Josiah Smith Tavern on the Green, the editorial board (ahem, me) has decided to start a series where we solve various issues around town in spite of having no discernible expertise in the issue. The new series shall be entitled
Read more. Weston has long had a north-south fisticuffs (sometimes with central Weston as its own contender) and the Owl is not one to let bygones be bygones.

Those of you without heads under rocks might

And the stoppers get a bonus view of Weston’s historic watering trough where General Knox took a drink while rolling the cannons along…oh fine, the 1890s trough post-dates General Knox and the Paul Revere bell tolling
Read moreWith a nod to The New Yorker, which used to frequently quote police blotter “events” in Bar Harbor, Maine, the Owl presents the 2022 Worst Intersections of Weston. If you are not a New Yorker reader (and I do question why in the world you wouldn’t be) Constabulary Notes from All Over would frequently quote the wackiest stories from the
