Charlestown News Summary: Teacher Honored; Rutherford Ave. Update

We know it’s easy to fall behind on the news. If you have this week, here are five stories we think you should take a look at.

1.) : The latest proposal to redesign this area near Sullivan Square was presented to the public before the Charlestown Neighborhood Council. But judging from the reactions of the crowd, the new plan does little to address concerns about traffic diverting through the middle of the neighborhood.

2.) : Charlestown High teacher Amy Piacitelli was one of four teachers in the country to get a call from US 'educator-in-chief' Arne Duncan.

3.) : The bank on Rutherford Avenue was robbed on Tuesday.

4.) : OK, so this is old news: historic, in fact. But it's interesting. A mob burned the first school for girls in Charlestown to the ground in 1834.

5.) : Take a look at how work is progressing at the construction of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
