Today, I am on Cape Ann in search of dog lovers. I am working on a story for our Cape Ann magazine about scenic spots you can take your dog to cavort.
Here, after Labor Day, you can take your dog to the beach. I wonder what the equivalent is here in Greater Lawrence, Mass.? Maybe a promenade around the common?
My little dog, Wembley, is happy with anything grassy. Not sure what he’d do … continued »

No word yet if Mel will be there, or just the stunt double . . . .

Hi eager readers,
For those of you who saw yesterday’s paper, you know Mel is town shooting a movie.
According to my sources, the film will stage a car stunt from the the Rocks Village Bridge, between Haverhill and West Newbury (Massachusetts) next week. Somehow the car will end up in our beloved Merrimack River.
Apparently said bridge will be closed for filming. No word on when yet. Isn’t this exciting?
Stay tuned.

For that I would tune in . . .

I felt like something was missing in my life. Who new it was my Brenda and Kelly fix?
I absolutely loved the new “90210″ which premiered on the CW last night. Many had doubts about reinventing this sudser for the 21st century, but I think this version walked the line between a homage to the original and something interesting for the present.
