Greg Reibman reports that what might be the last Ground Round in all of Massachusetts - that sorta-invisible one just off 128 at the Newton/Needham line - has closed. Those of you who are old enough to remember may throw some peanut shells on the floor and take your kid to see a scary clown.

Gas tanker rolled over and exploded on Rte. 128 south near Highland Avenue around 5:30 a.m.; road shut, driver slightly injured, smoke visible from across the region.

Miss Von Schtoop was up early, went out for a drive, took photos along the way of a smoke ring from the accident drifting over Mission Hill, Cambridge, downtown and South Boston, including this montage from Southie:

I'm thinking of visiting Needham, but is it safe?

Cutler Park on the Dedham/Needham line lets you go deep into a marsh without getting stuck in mud - thanks to a boardwalk that meanders through the park, which consists mainly of a 700-acre marsh along the Charles River (and 128).

More about the park, including directions.
