Even though it’s summer, Fall River schools are buzzing with activity! At Fall River’s B.M.C. Durfee High School, a group of 60 students ages 7 to 14 are participating in a summer course called FRED-TV. Within the school’s television studio, the students can be found working on such projects as a commercial, comedy skit, short movie, and a music video.

The program is an expansion of a successful FRED-TV summer camp that was offered a few summers back. Several of the students look forward to participating in the FRED-TV class when they begin high school at Durfee in the future.

Check out Reach for the Moon, a music video produced by 2009 FRED-TV high school students on the FRED-TV website.

Waban, One of Newton's 13 Villages

Families looking at Newton real estate are often surprised to find that Newton is not a typical suburb of Boston. True, in the 1800s the area was a commuter suburb for wealthy Boston businessmen. Today, however, most of Newton’s residents work within Newton or its surrounding towns rather than commute to Boston. This contributes to a flourishing local economy, where restaurants, banks, boutiques, and other businesses prosper — along with buyers and sellers of Newton real estate. This vibrant local economy is a pleasant environment for everyone who works and plays in Newton, Massachusetts.

A unique aspect of the Newton economy is that there are 13 villages that make up the town of Newton. Each village center is a hub for shopping, dining, public art installations, and more. NewtonVillages.org is a city-wide coalition dedicated to making Newton’s village centers “better places to walk, bike, eat, shop, work, play, gather and live.” The organization manages such projects as planning festivals and events, adding bike racks, and placing local artists’ work in vacant spaces. The Newton Chamber of Commerce includes over 700 businesses and offers discounted health insurance, direct customer referrals, educational seminars, advertising opportunities and the advantage of networking with other local, established businesses in the area.
