I’ve been enjoying my lunch outside under the maple tree in front of the Edgell Library these past few days. The weather has been beautiful and we have a new picnic table donated by yours truly. It’s been especially fun to see the Pokemon players coming to check off the library as a “pokestop” on the game. I still haven’t downloaded the app, so this terminology may be wrong, but who cares – people are noticing our historic buildings! Some are moving too fast to talk and others like my friend Corey Lamont (see photo) was able to chat. He was sitting on the bench in front of the Old Academy – a “gym” in the game – and I asked him if he had a second to talk. He was very gracious and showed me the virtual battle happening at our “gym” between the reds and the blues. He’s a sophomore at Framingham High School and when I asked him if he remembered visiting the Academy during his 3rd grade tour he said “I remember it like it was yesterday.” You can imagine how my heart soared! Stay tuned for more on Pokemon – perhaps a “Poke party?”
