It didn’t take Grafton Grill & Crust long to arrange for barriers in front of its dining tent after the Select Board on Tuesday raised concerns about potential safety issues at restaurants where diners are now sharing parking lots with cars. On Thursday, vehicles were parked as makeshift barriers in front of the tents, as suggested at the meeting. Friday, concrete barriers were installed.

“Happy Mother’s Day to me! I never expected rocks 💎💎 this big!” the restaurant’s Facebook page proclaimed.

“Dexter” watch begins!

The Showtime serial killer series will make its home in Grafton May 17-21. The show will be filming at 3 Chestnut Street, which will be a character’s home, and is renting out Norcross Park, the parking lot at the Grafton Flea Market, and the former DPW facility on Upton Street to store equipment trucks. The forecast on Chestnut Street calls for snow and night shoots.

“Dexter,” which last aired in 2013 after eight seasons, stars Michael C. Hall as the title character, a Miami forensic analyst who solves crimes by day and commits acts of murder by night. The 10-episode revival focuses on the character years later, apparently in hiding in the Pacific Northwest.
