He tells About Town, "When we saw it, we thought we'd be doing the neighbors a favor. Our intentions were all good. We figured we'd take a condemned eyesore and make it something that looked good." But, Krivelow got a taste of what the neighbors along Lambert Ave., Rockland St. and McGarvey Rd had to say on Thursday night at a Stoughton Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.

RAISING CASH FROM LEMONS: Proud Stoughton mom Hollie Tiso tells About Town that her four children sold lemonade the past two years to generate funds for Children's Hospital. Last year, the four kids raised $115. This year, in a tougher economy, they raised $200! Kudos to Grace Tiso, age six, and the Tiso Triplets---Gregory, Tyler and Sean, who are four. Holly said she only invited family and friends to the lemonade stand. Next year, she'll let us know about it in advance, and we'll spread the word.

"When I asked her what she would do with …
