The Last Week in Brookline: July 18 to 24

The news refuses to take some time off this summer.

In the last week alone, we heard about brush fires, power outages and the ongoing hunt for Boston's tree-killing beetles. Brookline police were kept busy with alleged peeping toms, rapists and a bunch of roaming roosters, while health officials made sure construction workers were have been trained to do their work safely.

We also got a good long look at the four men vying for the job of town administer in Brookline, as well as a sneak peak at the town's newest butcher and a nude reading series coming to the Coolidge. And don't forget art exhibits at the library, firefighter graduation ceremonies, and disruptive work on the D Line.

As long as the news keeps happening, we'll keep reporting it. Stay cool and check in next week.
