Thank you to all who took our poll about the Super Bowl half-time show. Here's what's happening in Medford today.
Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026
Hold on to your hats. It could get up to 40 degrees today. Compared to what we’ve been experiencing lately, that’s almost beach weather.
Thank you to the few, the proud, the 24! That’s the number of you who took our poll about what you’d watch or not watch during the Super Bowl half. Here are the results:
- 8.3% of you said you would punt and watch the Puppy Bowl instead
- 8.3% of you said you would watch Kid Rock in the Turning Point USA show
- 16.7% of you said you were just there for the food
- And…drum roll please… 66.7% of you said you would watch Bad Bunny

What we’re working on
Flu season: Nell will have a rundown on how bad it is this year and how to protect yourself and your family.
City Council neighborhood meetings: The City Council's Resident Services and Public Engagement Committee is considering having listening sessions in neighborhoods. We'll let you know what they decide.
Project 351: Some Medford students will be participating. Nell will fill you in on what it is and what the students think.
Unhoused in Medford: We’re still working on getting the data from the Point in Time Count. The data is now put into an app, rather than tabulated manually, and that data hasn’t been released by the state. We’ll bring it to you as soon as we can.
In case you missed it
Congrats are in order for the High School Swim Team. They clinched the Greater Boston League championship, for the first time in 40 years.
