One woman's membership was canceled by a local gym for talking on the phone.
Last week, a Westwood woman's Planet Fitness membership was taken away for talking on her cell phone, according to The Boston Herald. Tina Santoro Asmar told The Herald that the reason she answered the phone at the Dedham gym was because it was from her doctor's office. But because she refused to hang up the phone, the manager of the gym canceled her membership.

Should gyms allow cell phone use? Tell us in the comments below.

The new owners are nearing completion of the White City Shopping Center on Route 9.
After two years of work, Charter Realty and Development is nearing the final stages of completely revitalizing the White City Shopping Center. According to Paul Brandes, the landlord of the plaza, development started on the west side of the plaza bordering Lake Quinsigamond and the work on that was completed earlier this year. More Recently, Brandes and his associates tackled the East Side. “We’ve created something the shopping center has never had, fresh new landscaping, sidewalks and lighting.
