DID YOU KNOW… Before anything else, MAC needs to clarify that the charity hockey game between the Canton Fire/Police team and a team from the Boston police will take place on on Saturday, February 27, starting at 8 p.m. at the Metropolis Skating Rink. MAC incorrectly said last week that the game was on Sunday. […]
I was a half hour early for my lunch date last Saturday so I wandered around the outdoor mall looking for interesting stores. Most of them were the usual chains, but then I came upon a paper store and was immediately enticed inside. I love stationery stores — the bright colors, the textures, the designs, […]
DID YOU KNOW… In case you haven’t looked around lately, Canton now has 17 locations (that we know of) where you can buy a pizza: Apollo Pizza, Beatty Post 24 American Legion, Bertucci’s, Big D’s (Neponset Café), CenterField’s, Center Pizza, Cobb’s Corner Pizza, D&E, Good Name Pizza, Grand Slam Deli, Kelly’s Pub, Mangia Neapolitan Pizza, […]
We went out with another couple on Saturday night and they asked us how long we’ve been married. “Thirty-three years,” Steve and I answered almost simultaneously. I saw their eyes widen and realized that my husband and I are probably not the norm when it comes to married couples these days. We’ve been married for […]

Food and wine have a symbiotic relationship (heck, there’s a whole magazine, Food & Wine, dedicated to the subject). Each complements the other and makes it stronger, like the bird in the Hippo’s mouth, but in a much more appetizing, less-saliva kinda way. A juicy steak with a big California Cab; Sauvignon Blanc and goat […]
As I told you earlier I’m a sucker for surveys, so every few months I find myself answering questions about the commuter rail. I must admit though that the train surveys are disappointing. Unlike the other forms that I fill out that ask different questions every time, the commuter rail always asks the same questions. […]
DID YOU KNOW… You may have seen the recent Canton Citizen headline and article telling us the sad story: “The Canton Public Schools budget shortfall could exceed $1 million in 2011.” Much of the shortfall has to do with the expensive cost of out-of-district services for special needs students that are mandated by state law. […]
Walking to work last Wednesday morning, I was standing at Tremont Street waiting for the light to change so that I could cross. Tremont is the busiest street that I pass on the way to work. Not only does traffic race by at unsafe speeds, but the little pedestrian-guy pictured on the walk sign is […]

Commons, LLC., located at 780 Dedham Street, Suite 400 in Canton, which are being foreclosed by their 2006 mortgagee, the National City Bank. The condo complex is […]
