The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel.

This Massachusetts Town Shows Why Affordable Retirement Isn’t Completely Out Of Reach

There is something I like about a Massachusetts town that has been making precision tools since 1880 and still proudly answers to the nickname Tool Town.
