Thursday, July 29th, 2010 at 5:45pm. 180 Views, 0 Comments.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is delaying its implementation of the new law it passed earlier this year to protect homeowners and the environment from hazardous oil leaks from oil heating systems. The Homeowners Oil Heating System Upgrade and Insurance Law was originally set to take effect on July 1, 2010, but is now extended until September 11, 2011.

The social media statistics are "mind-boggling".  Facebook is the number one social networking site and presently gets more traffic than Google.  Within the past two weeks I have received five articles on, "How to Increase My Business Using Facebook".  What is interesting is that the fastest age group on Facebook are…

 Money's list of America's best small cities

 Newton, MA ranks #3

 Brookline, MA ranks #39

  

Hooray for Newton!. CNN Money Magazine ranked Newton the third best city for families to live in America. It talked about our close proximity to Boston. The article went on to explain how Newton was divided into 13 villages "loaded with classic New England charm" and how most had shopping areas, parks and  playgrounds.

The economic stability remained stronger than other towns due to the colleges and hospital in the city.  The Newton Public Schools continue to rank high and the beautiful new $197 million high school is going to bring Newton North High School to a new level. I disagree when they say a three-bedroom house runs nearly $600,00. I find…read more
