Yes, That Was the Stanley Cup

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 7. Here are five things you need to know today.

1. Shawn Thornton was in the neighborhood yesterday… with the Stanley Cup. Yeah, no big deal. He stopped by and, rumor has it, Ironsides and Tavern on the Water. (We've only got photographic evidence of Zume's.) Kind of a great surprise for a rainy Tuesday following Labor Day. Thank you to Zume's for use of these photos!

2. Gentle reminder: If you want the skinny on , get over to the Charlestown Neighborhood Council (Basic Services Committee) . Producers will be on hand to go over the details.

3. The Boston Public Library has 200 copies of The Hunger Games. And there are 307 holds on it. That's the stuff you learn scanning their Top 10 Fiction Books for August.

4. If you see , don't be surprised. He's in his home town, visiting the Boys & Girls Club today.

5. Another rainy day: Showers likely, mainly before 1 p.m. High near 63.
