COMMUNITY & ARTS
The biggest community story in circulation this cycle is the golden anniversary of Renjeau Galleries on Route 9. MetroWest Daily News reports that founder Renate Rosenfield, who launched the gallery in 1976, is marking the occasion this week. The Milford Daily News carried the same story. Details on any public anniversary events were not available from primary sources, but the coverage across multiple regional outlets signals a moment worth noting for residents who have watched the gallery become a Route 9 fixture over five decades.
Also in the retail landscape: home décor shop Curated Studio closed its original Natick Mall location on June 23 and is preparing to reopen in a permanent storefront elsewhere in the mall, per a report from WhatNow. A reopening date had not been announced as of this edition.
