Five Things to Know: Wednesday, Nov. 2

1. Forecast: Sunny. Highs in the lower 50s.

2. Whole Foods isn't the only new organic (and mostly organic) food option to be added to JP this week. Today marks the first day that Farmers To You begins service to our neighborhood. You order directly from Vermont farmers and more of your money goes to the producers. They'll have a food pick-up every Wednesday at Boylston Congregational Church.

3. Did you hear about the big fire over on Calumet Street on Saturday? It did $1 million worth of damage and left 93 people homeless. And it was started by lint in the hose between a dryer and outside. It's a reminder to get that hose cleaned every year.

4. Here's a bit of advance planning if you want to help fight crime: Thursday night at the monthly community-police meeting, a lieutenant detective will give a presentation on "." 7 p.m. at the E-13 station, 3347 Washington St.

5. This time of year, it's usually the politicians calling us. Turn the tables this evening, as Congressman Mike Capuano hosts a telephone community meeting at 6:55 p.m. .
