Guy Fieri’s New Favorite Pizza Joint is in Massachusetts
Guy Fieri has made a name for himself as the "King of Flavor Town", whatever that actually means. I guess I should start with the fact that I'm not a huge fan of this guy (see what I did there), but in the same breath, I have to admit that I'm wildly jealous of the fact that he gets to travel the nation tasting amazing food.
The Boston Years: On The Streets 1972-75
In 1972, Philip Flip Collier was in Boston. Philip, who has previously shared his terrific photographs of 1970s NYC, enrolled at the city’s New England School of Photography where he studied for the next two years with the hope of becoming a commercial photographer, but I could never get off the streets. People fascinated me. I loved the way I could capture them in an instant and preserve the moment forever. This is the beginning of my ‘Boston Years 1972 – 1975’.
Inmates prepare lunch at the Fife and Drum: a unique and affordable dining experience
For most local residents, the herd of cows grazing in the pasture overlooking the Concord rotary is a familiar sight. However, motorists on Route 2 may not be aware that this property is part of the Northeastern Correctional Center (NECC), which is a minimum-security and pre-release facility that houses about 200 male prisoners. While it is part of the Massachusetts prison system, it is separate from the recently-closed Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Concord, which is located on the other side of the rotary.
How Many Boston Market Stores are Left in New England?
I was driving back from camping the other weekend and was passing Saugus, MA, and for some reason I was craving Boston Market in a bad way. I was sad to see the Boston Market in Saugus location on Route 1 had closed, and appeared to be closed for awhile. I then proceeded to dive down a Boston Market rabbit hole on the world wide web and was determined to find out the reason behind the demise of a chain I once held so near and dear.
Shooting movie scenes at Saugus Iron Works
A small indie broadcasting and media production company filmed actors dressed in period costumes from the late 1600s for comedy “Outside Salem”. Visitors to our town’s National Historic Site last Sunday (Aug. 25) got an extra bonus, as the production company “Full of Fruit” filmed some scenes of their new comedy “Outside Salem” at the Saugus Iron Works. Tessa Zitter and Jonesy Moore are co-producers of this movie, which brings some humor to the story of Puritans in New England. More filming will be occurring at Pioneer Village in Salem and other local sites in upcoming months.
Voice actor says Boston Duck Tours has ‘more talk of death’ than he expected
A voice actor who came to Boston recently was surprised at the amount of times death was mentioned during one of the city’s most popular tourist activities. Dan Povenmire, known for voicing the character of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz in the Disney Channel animated series “Phineas and Ferb,” shared his reaction to taking a Duck Tour of Boston in a TikTok posted on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
Making boulders come to life at the YV Museum
The reception for this year’s three-week artist residence sculpting at the enormous stone field at the YV Museum in Acton on August 25 was attended by an enthusiastic 35 people. In its 13th year of the residence where artists select a boulder to carve from the huge boulder field in front of the museum, the whole project is expected to extend over a 20-year period. The artists this year included Dankha Zomaya, David Adilman, Marin Murakoshi and Yin Peet, one of the owners of the museum. After a brief ceremony in which Peet provided each of the other participants with a beautifully-printed certificate, the ceremony moved outside where the artists talked about their respective pieces.
