Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. The WOKQ Ice Cream Trail has a favorite stop in Bedford. The New Hampshire Ice Cream Trail starts at Memories Ice Cream in Kingston, makes a stop at King Kone in Merrimack, and then stops at the Inside Scoop in Bedford: "This place serves Richardson’s Homemade hard serve ice cream, plus soft serve. They additionally have a coffee bar, so if you're looking for a caffeine as well as sugar kick, you're in luck." (wokq.com)
2. A shoutout to Laser Components USA; the Bedford company was recently listed in Photonics Marketplace as a supplier of specialized glass polarizers for telecommunications applications. Find out more here: (Photonics.com)
3. The future of a proposed Tesla dealership and service center in Bedford is "unknown" after the developer requested a one-year extension.
