In addition to banning the Pledge of Allegiance, Brookline's November 15 Town Meeting will consider fingerprinting ice cream truck drivers and banning the sale of tobacco at town drug stores. Should be a fun night. [Boston Globe] Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

The Globe reports on Massachusetts joining the medical revolution with the opening of a CVS in-store clinic in Medway. Nurse practitioners are on hand at these clinics to give vaccinations and treat "minor acute illnesses." As people rush to get flu shots this fall, the clinics will also be able to help. It's $59 a visit, which is more than a copay but less than a real doctor bill, and you don't have to make an appointment or wait for hours. The clinics are open 8am to 8pm weekdays and 10am to 4pm on weekends. After Medway, they're set to open in Bridgewater, Danvers, Taunton, and Tewksbury. Guess Bostonians will be going the regular medical route for a while. The clinics are licensed by the Department of Public Health.
