To the Editor,
I read with interest the article “New Lux Cinema a Showstopper?” on the front page of the Oct. 22, 2009 issue of The Dedham Transcript. Since that article ran, there has been a lot of buzz about the decline in business at the Dedham Community Theatre and the effect it will have on Dedham Square if this trend continues. I wanted to take this opportunity to shed some light on this issue.
Dear Editor:
The Friends of Dedham Recreation and the Friends of the Dedham Pool would like to “thank” the following companies, organizations and Individuals for help making the 20th Annual Dedham Day a huge success.
I have been a subscriber to the Daily News Transcript and its antecedents for many years. It has always been a great source of information and opinion from many segments of local communities.
As the town officials try to come to a decision regarding the building leased by the Olde Colonial Café, I think it is important for all of the citizens to voice their concerns.
Many people are saying how unfortunate the situation with our former temporary superintendent is. I think there’s probably plenty of blame to go around with regard to it but rather than focus on who’s to blame, I think we should take this opportunity to refocus on what’s important.
In today’s current economic world, many landlords are offering incentives (reduction of rent) in order to keep loyal responsible tenants.
Old habits die hard, they say. However, with the approval of their owners, dog habits never die.
I sit patiently, expectantly at my living room window. Suddenly, the blue van appears at the end of the street.
We have a big problem at the Norwood Senior Center with the poor condition of the floor and this is the second time in a year.
I have major concerns about the new floor in the big room.

Special Town Meeting gave the Avery School and Dedham High School athletic complex projects key votes of support, upped Dedham’s meals and hotel taxes and voted to move the town’s adult zoning to Legacy Place this week.
At an otherwise smooth mini-Town Meeting, two Finance Committee members renewed their disagreement about possible hike to hotel and meals taxes, with Derek Moulton questioning how the money would be used if devoted to a major capital facilities stabilization fund.
