Despite our location 25 miles north of Boston, the impact of the Democratic National Convention (July 26 to July 30) will be felt here in Lowell. The Middlesex North Registry will be open and will conduct business as usual. The satellite recording office for Middlesex South will also be open although we will be extending the hours of operation slightly. The satellite office normally stops recording at 3 pm but that week, we will continue until 4 pm to accommodate the expected increase in business. Unfortunately, we still will be unable to accept Registered Land documents or plans for Middlesex South. We also will be opening a temporary office of the Corporations Division of the Secretary of State's office for that week. We'll provide additional information about the services that will be available. Although the Corporations addition will only be for that week, if it proves useful, perhaps we can make the case that it should be a permanent addition to our operations. As for Tuesday's trivia question (Where is the key to the Bastille located?) the answer is at Mount Vernon in Virginia. Lafayette presented the key to George Washington and it hangs over the doorway in our first President's home. Congratulations to Assistant Register Tony Accardi for correctly answering the question.
