Boston Globe: Bedford 'Worth the Trip'

The New England daily this week featured the town of Bedford as a weekend travel destination.

Bedford residents know their bucolic town is full of worthwhile historical, recreational and cultural activities—now Boston residents know it, too.

The Boston Globe this week featured Bedford and its three hamlets as a featured weekend travel destination in the paper's Lifestyle section, and noted the "entire town is a popular tourist destination for couples and families, with the occasional celebrity spotting."

The story notes the town's few lodging options, and recommends The Bedford Post Inn and nearby Crabtree's Kittle House Inn and The Holiday Inn as places to stay.

For dining, the Globe's travel writer points to wide-ranging options, from The Wooden Nickel's bacon-egg-and-cheese on a roll to organic fare at to finer-dining prepared at the The Meetinghouse Food and Spirits.

Bedford's many cultural destinations were touted as places to visit during the day—such as John Jay Homestead and the Katonah Museum—as were specialty shops and boutiques like Kelloggs & Lawrence and Consider the Cook.

The chance to spot the occasional celebrity is also mentioned as a draw—and Bedford has more than a few, from Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to Martha Stewart and Richard Gere.

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
