5 Things You Need to Know Today: Nov. 15

Our daily column, 5 Things You Need to Know Today, will help you to get your day started and offer you some fodder for water cooler conversation.

1. Every Wednesday, we kick off a week-long photo contest that culminates with one lucky reader winning a $25 gift card. Today, we invite you to submit your photos of local landmarks. Think you have a breathtaking photo of Framingham Town Hall, or Cushing Park? Those are just two ideas for this week's contest, which runs until next Monday night. Upload your photos on the contest article by clicking here.

2. Well-loved Brophy Elementary School librarian Terry Levin died. Have you left your condolences and memories on our story?

3. Need wine advice for Thanksgiving? Blogger Ken Hoggins offers some in his recent post.

4. Anyone get tied up in construction around town? There's a lot of it going on and we've definitely been caught up in it. 

5. Have an event you'd like to see featured in our 5 Things column? Upload the event directly to our site, send us the link, and we'll help you promote it!
