Police are searching for a man who attempted an armed robbery Thursday morning in Franklin, but ran from the Cumberland Farms on Central Street before he could snatch any money.
Detective Sergeant Kent Matthews of the Franklin Police Department said the public was in no danger.
I often find myself walking past the Somersworth Veterans Memorial, which is located in Stein Park on Main Street and thinking about those who are or who have served over the years. One of the stones in the park is dedicated to the crews of the USS Somersworth and for many years could be found in the park that bears its name. That park is located at the end of Main and Market streets. The Veterans Commission decided that it would be more fitting to have the stone placed in the Veterans park and that is exactly where it is today.
Fore Street (the southeast side of Boothby Square between Pearl and Silver Streets)
Middle Street (traffic reduced to one-way between India and Franklin Streets)
The city says commercial vehicles will be able to access the closed streets before 11 a.m. daily to make deliveries.
The city says the closure of the southeast side of Boothby Square (between Pearl and Silver streets) is a new addition to the program and was made in response to requests from local businesses.
“As this is a street over which the State has authority, its closure will be confirmed pending MaineDOT approval,” the city said in a release.
