Interview: Comics Come Home 30 serves as comedy’s All-Star Game
For 30 years, a venerable cavalcade of comedy’s biggest names have made their way to Boston for one night in the fall to celebrate Comics Come Home.

Suffolk Downs celebrates official lighting of the Lighthouse at Beachmont Square
The HYM Investment Group LLC (“HYM”) and the City of Revere recently celebrated the official lighting of The Lighthouse at Beachmont Square at Suffolk Downs. Located just outside the MBTA’s Beachmont Blue Line station at the site of the former Beachmont Roast Beef, The Lighthouse serves as a new visual landmark and gateway to Beachmont Square, helping to knit together the Beachmont neighborhood to the 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment. The illuminated tower symbolizes the continued transformation of the historic Suffolk Downs site into a vibrant, connected, mixed-use community and will serve as a beacon for residents, commuters, and visitors of Beachmont Square. The design of the tower pays homage to the former structure that sat atop the Beachmont T Stop and served as a visual marker to commuters.

A competitive boxer, Ingala is turning her full attention back to the gym, preparing to compete again in the New England Golden Gloves tournament, Jan. 7-25, 2027. And, after that, take the next step in her fighting career. "I am channeling the focus into boxing and hopefully after the Golden Gloves this year I will turn pro," she said.

Ingala said she was disappointed not to take that title, which went to Chris Donisi of Burlington, but she's taking it in stride. And the experience brought a
