Movies For Children, Astrological Show

Movies for the young: The North End Library on Parmenter Street will show children’s films from 11 a.m. to noon.

Gaze into the galaxy: The Friends of Christopher Columbus Park volunteer to keep this beautiful plot of land available to the community. Stop by today to watch the Orionids Meteor Shower right here in the city at 100 Atlantic Avenue.

Stay local: Need a haircut? Stop by Boston Barber Company on Salem Street – where members of the Boston Bruins head when they need their beards trimmed. You can also get a cup of espresso and engage in a great conversation with the friendly barbers.

This Day in History: With the Boston Bruins on hold right now, hockey fans might need a little talk about the sport. On October 15, 1989, Wayne Gretzky broke Gordie Howe’s National Hockey League career scoring record of 1,850 points. The Canadian superstar was playing against his old team, the Edmonton Oilers.
