Police at 11:27 a.m. on July 20 responded to 151 Butler Lane regarding a civil issue between a landlord and tenant. The address is the site of an animal cruelty case that resulted in a conviction for Catherine Palmer following the deaths of puppies. In April, Palmer filed to evict a tenant at the house. In filing their answer, the tenants said the eviction is retaliatory and that Palmer is not the owner of title to the property and doesn’t have the right to rent it out or evict those who reside there. The case is scheduled to go to trial next month, court records show.

Not sure why you took a picture of the rear of Vine Cottage being painted when not many people see that side. The side facing Main Street would have been more appropriate.
Not sure why you submitted this comment. It would have been more appropriate to think twice. This photo shows people painting Vine Cottage.
Above is mentioned >>The selectmen noted during this week’s meeting that Vine Cottage is being painted. “Maybe it’ll sell now,” Moynihan said.<<
That's odd. I thought we were keeping it for town use? 🤔
It's in the Historic District.
Is this going to be another 600 page 8-30g application, like the Red Cross building, also in the Historic District?
Or will it end up being" luxury only, " like the "Vue"?
Asking for a friend.
Vine Cottage is not in the Historic District.
About Vine Cottage – if Vine Cottage is for sale again – it should be to the Land Trust who made a very good offer and WILL TAKE CARE OF IT and HONOR IT. It should not be sold to someone who has no feeling for it, and I thought we were keeping it.
Thank you for the picture of Vine Cottage being painted. A fresh coat of paint will always mean progress to me. Perhaps my college days as a house painter is the reason I’m prejudiced and foolishly optimistic in this instance.
Michael, YOU should look and think twice, and apologize for your snarky remark. It is the BACK of Vine Cottage that is being painted (note the 1/2 porch).
Bullshit, I responded in kind to this reader and I don’t need your approval or permission to do so. Also, stop using all-caps it makes you look even more stupid.
Michael, The tone of your response to Ms. Findley is inappropriate and your language choice equally so. Not very professional.
Oh shut up, lady.
This isn’t Benedictine Academy or the College of St. Elizabeth. Go away.
