Powder House Community School Sold?

I heard a rumor that the old Powder House Community School has finally been sold. Has anyone heard this? I know the city received six bids and wonder which one they went with.

Local furniture makers?

We've just built a patio and would love to get our outdoor furniture from a local (i.e., anywhere in MA/Southern NH/VT etc) maker. Any recommendations? Everything I've seen thus far is pretty high end, fancy, arty stuff - gorgeous, but not fit for comfy year-round lounging.

Thanks!

Useful things to do in summer

[littlecitynames.livejournal.com]

I am free after 4 on weekdays for the next month. I have been bored out of my mind lately with nothing to do in the evenings, but when school starts again I'll be swamped so I can't pick up anything long-term. Does anyone have suggestions for anything I could use that time for that would be useful locally and get me out of the house? I would be willing to volunteer once or twice a week, or maybe take a class (unfortunately, nothing I'm interested in is happening at the CCAE in the next month) or do something else low-cost and low-stress. I like the idea of meeting new people while doing active things. Thanks!
