The town of Newburyport MA (part of Cape Ann real estate) is becoming one of the trendiest places to live in Massachusetts. Here are a few “in” things:

• Organic food and live food restaurants. Two just opened in Downtown Newburyport.
• Open spaces. This summer,  the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority announced its plan to turn a 3-acre site into a waterfront park with a playground, sculpture park, and performance space.
• Historical sites. Butler’s Toothpick, a 19^th-century navigational marker, got a new look this summer.
• Citizens gearing up to help nonprofits. Pennies for Poverty, 2 Cents 4 Change, the Salvation Army, the Masons and the Rotary Club, the Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association and the Roof Over Head Collaborative are just a few organizations which Newburyport residents actively participate in.

The city of Boston is once again advancing to become one of the safest cities in the country for drivers and pedestrians. A unanimous vote yesterday by the Boston City Council to outlaw text messaging while driving might help jump-start a state-wide prohibition. If approved by state legislators, this law would impose fines ranging from $100 to $300 for violators. The texting ban needs Mayor Thomas Menino’s approval to be sent to Beacon Hill.

Boston is known around the country and by its own residents as a walking city, so this new law may be great news for families in the area. It could be just another perk for people looking at real estate in Newton MA. The city of Newton is already one of the safest in the country.
