Stumper for September:

Can you find the contact information for the New England Cable News?

Answer: 160 Wells Avenue, Newton, Massachusetts. 617-630-5000

Source: ReferenceUsa. The information is not on the NECN web site. Donna Morse, librarian at the Reuben Hoar Library in Littleton, found the answer using a Google search for New England Cable News. (It wasn't the first hit!)

Stumper for October:

I am looking for information on the Boston Exchange Hotel. It operated during the 1800's.

Until next month,
Eleanor Sathan
