New look for Swampscott Rail Trail By Tréa Lavery ITEM STAFF SWAMPSCOTT — In celebration of the second segment of the Swampscott Rail Trail nearing completion, the Friends of the Swamp- scott Rail Trail have unveiled a new trail logo. “The circular logo includes train tracks evoc- ative of the history of the trail along with a branch of elderberry,” the organization said in a press release. “Elderberry bushes, native to Massachusetts, provide food and cover for small animals and birds, and they have edible fruit and  owers. In folklore, elder wood conveys safety, a key objective of the rail trail to provide a safe place to walk and ride off of busy roads.” The rst segment of the trail was complet- ed in June 2020 and has been open to bikers and walkers since then. The second segment has not yet been completed, as construction was delayed by early snowfall in the fall, and the trail still needs nal touches, such as a layer of crushed stone and other landscaping. Marzie Galazka, director of community and ITEM PHOTO | JULIA HOPKINS economic development for the town, said that the trail has still served the community well during IT’S ALL ON FILM: RAIL TRAIL, A2 GEORGE CLOONEY IN LYNN Lynn eld By Allysha Dunnigan ing throughout Boston since gure, since his disappeared at ITEM STAFF early February, but Monday a young age, so he builds rela- George Clooney was their rst day lming in tionships with the regulars at is directing a LYNN — George Clooney was Lynn. his uncle’s bar on Long Island new lm, “The schools set spotted lming his new movie “The Tender Bar” is based before leaving to attend Yale.
