Two men were murdered yesterday: a 65-year-old was shot dead on Hughes Avenue in Belmont, and a 63-year-old was stabbed to death inside his Marion Avenue apartment.

The Orchard Beach lifeguard station looks like "a house on fraternity row," according to the Post, with cases of beer stacked up outside, and staff drinking at their desks. The Parks Department says no laws were broken because the men were off-duty, and swimming was over for the day.

A housing project in Castle Hill has received a $25 million "green" makeover, with the aim of reducing energy costs and carbon emissions.
