Joppa Hill Road Now Open to Through Traffic

1. Roadwork roundup. After months of construction, Joppa Hill Road is now open, to through traffic from Route 101 all the way into Goffstown.

2. The weatherman says ... Today's forecasted high, according to Weather.com, is 41 degrees. In addition to fast-falling temperatures, expect a windy day with partly cloudy skies and a 0-percent chance of rain. The overnight low is 23 degrees.

3. So funny, it should be illegal! Bedford High School's Theatre Company will be performing Legally Blonde the Musical.  Best described as perky, energetic and bright, with a pop score and dance numbers that will leave you feeling exhausted on the kids’ behalf, the show is an absolute hoot.  Embracing everything from jumping ropes to spoofing Riverdance, Legally Blonde takes cliche expectations and merrily dances all over them.  Its showcasing of stereotypes in an attempt to shatter them is utterly enjoyable, but there is a fair amount of mature innuendo intended for older audiences.  Most of it will fly over the heads of little ones, but as a parent, please use your discretion about how comfortable you will feel sitting next to your children.   Celebrating the always wonderful message about the importance of being yourself, Bedford High School’s performance of Legally Blonde is enormously entertaining and fun. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets to the show, which runs Nov. 14-17, are available at the door before each show or online here.
