A.M. Briefing
- An Andover News reader shared a video of a liquor store robbery in Lowell (TV-MA for the s-word). Not an Andover story and it's from a few months ago, but it's worth checking out.

James Locke purchased 111 Main Street on October 27,1824 and opened Locke's Tavern. The tavern became the site for a few local historic moments, including meetings of the group that successfully lobbied to run an extension of the Boston-Lowell train line through Wilmington and Andover. The building had several other owners before being converted into the Locke Tavern Condominiums in 2002.
