Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations.

1. Are you a believer in palm readings? Miss Mello Palm and Tarot Card Readings will open sometime this summer at 20 Main St., a vacant space that used to be the Silver Hanger Cleaners. As soon as the shop is cleared of cleaning racks and other items, the new owner will remodel the space. Selectmen approved the business license last week.

Pleasant and East Street, before heading back to the finish on Howard Street.
