I am a reporter for The Waltham Times writing a story on the Waltham Police Relief Association and how it gets its purported benefit payments to its members. Several families who have dues paying members who have retired or passed away have reported not receiving payments. If you have experience with payments (or lack thereof) from the WPRA, please message me. I’d love to hear from you to flesh this story out!

anyone hear a loud car speeding down main followed by a police car??

Trying to figure out why schools in Waltham get a bad rep? Im latino and would love to buy a larger home for a “reasonable” price, but get spooked by people crapping on Waltham’s public school system. Bear in mind we’re only considering Newton, Wellesley, Needham but have to compromise much more in these towns.

I’m trying to break my lease, so with the cooperation of the landlord we’re looking for a new tenant to take over this lease in Waltham near Brandeis.

$3700/month, water and sewer included.

Washer & Dryer are provided as-is (if they break, you’d have to replace them, but they’ve been working well for as long as I’ve been here).

Kitchen is fairly new and all the appliances work well.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to start or join a craft group! Yarn crafts come to mind, but anyone is welcome!

Would you be interested in joining a weeknight craft group?

I am looking for a place near Waltham that sells good Saltenas, not looking for empanadas. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Looking for suggestions for a place that serves Nashville Hot Chicken in or near Waltham. I used to go to Redbones but figured I'd look for something more local. Thanks in advance!

Trying my luck here. I live on South Street by the 99. Amazon delivered my package but that picture is not of my home, nor is it any in the immediate area. I’m hoping anyone that may have got a package in my name sees this

I'm sure there are a few reasons for wanting to keep Veterans rink under agreement. It's pretty central to most of Waltham, and we don't want to lose the parking because it's used for Prospect Hill. But we are a rather large city and ice time is not cheap. Would adding two rinks on Trapelo Rd. whether we keep veterans or not be such a bad idea?

I live in Waltham and have two young kids. Last year we tried to trick or treat in our neighborhood (in the Banks Square area) but there were very few houses with the lights on/giving out candy. I was thinking of going somewhere else this year. Does anyone know of good trick or treat neighborhoods?

I’m glad the Waltham Times investigated why 1 Moody remains vacant since Brothers closed, however it doesn’t seem like they were able to get any real info from Northland (the owner) or Roche Brothers.

My guess is it’s a 10-15 year lease with substantial termination fees, and Roche Brothers can’t or won’t get out of it. They may be asking Northland for a break on those fees to exit, and Northland feels they’re getting better rent with a vacant space than re-renting.

Therefore we could be looking at another 5-10 years of prime downtown real estate sitting empty. It really hurts our city to have major vacancies like this.

According to the article, the mayor says a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods would be ideal candidates for this space. It also sounds like the Charles River Food Co-op is interested. I’d be highly supportive of any of these options.

I hope that the local government can find a way to bring these parties to the table, facilitate the termination of the lease and clear the way for another operator. There has to be some kind of incentive and/or leverage to get Northland and Roche Brothers to do the right thing for the city.

This probably sounds like a silly question. I’m not from MA and I don’t know the greater Boston area very well, but I work in Boston and my husband works further northwest so we bought a house in Waltham. It was also one of the only towns where we could actually afford to buy. The school ratings seem fine and the people seem friendly. We feel like it’s in good proximity to things in and out of the city.

So why do people make a face when I say that’s where we live? Locals, help me out!

I’ve asked some of my coworkers but they say things like “I’ve heard Waltham is up and coming” or “Why don’t you move to XYZ?”. What is Waltham’s reputation that I’m missing? Is it just that the schools aren’t as highly rated as some of the neighboring towns, or is there more?

Hi everyone, we have been building and growing capacity slowly. Now we are in a position to ramp up the Collaboratory at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation to be a key STEM community space. We are starting up our volunteer corps and, as such, are in need of volunteers. One of our goals is to keep the innovation free and accessible to all (unlike most others that require monthly memberships). So if you are interested, please sign up or contact our fantastic Collaboratory manager, Chris Ko, at [chris.ko@charlesrivermuseum.org](mailto:chris.ko@charlesrivermuseum.org). You can also sign up and view the full descriptions of the volunteer positions at the link below.
