Why Do Pizza Lovers Keep Driving To This Tiny Shop In Worcester?

The pizza recipe here dates back to 1922. Even better, the kitchen still uses the same oven and the same tomato sauce recipe. That kind of loyalty is rare. The dough gets made fresh every day, and each thin-crust pie comes out 12 inches round and cut into six slices.

A model train runs along the back wall of this grocery store, right above the dairy case. I can’t think of a better way to make buying milk feel like a small adventure. The store opens at 6 AM and stays open until midnight, seven days a week. That gives you a lot of hours to plan a holiday feast.

Marlborough jewelry store celebrating 40 years

Joy-Den Jewelers will celebrate 40 years in Downtown Marlborough with an anniversary event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 14 at 209 Main St. The locally owned fine jewelry store has served Marlborough and the MetroWest community since 1986, according to a community announcement. The 40th Anniversary Celebration will feature refreshments, special treats, gifts with purchase and a raffle for a $400 Joy-Den Jewelers gift certificate. Joyce Marino and Dennis Marino founded Joy-Den in 1986, combining their first names to create the store's name. In the four decades since, the business has become a familiar presence in Downtown Marlborough and developed relationships with generations of customers, according to the announcement. Current owner Chad Yesue began working at the jewelry store as a teenager. He later studied jewelry making and repair at Boston's North Bennet Street School and became Joy-Den's manager before buying the business in 2005. “Forty years doesn’t happen because of one person. It happens because people choose to come back, year after year, and trust us with some of the most meaningful moments and pieces in their lives,” Yesue said. “Our incredible staff has watched customers become friends, helped their kids pick out engagement rings and cared

The $5 Hardware Store Buy That's Secretly Poisoning New England's Owls

As New England’s temperatures drop and mice seek shelter indoors, homeowners inevitably rush to hardware stores for a quick fix. For just a few dollars, bait boxes and colorful poison blocks promise to solve the seasonal pest problem. But this winter tradition has created a devastating ripple effect. Instead of just eliminating mice, these ubiquitous poisons are quietly traveling up the food chain, killing the predators that naturally keep rodent populations in check.

Massachusetts Casino Expansion Plan Sparks Revenue Concerns

Massachusetts is seeing growing opposition to an effort to install historical horse racing (HHR) machines at two former racetracks. Critics say the plan could hurt current casinos, cut public revenues, and create an uneven regulatory landscape. Massachusetts House Gambling Proposal Could Generate $120M Annually The proposal is included in a House version of an economic development bill that passed in July. It would allow Suffolk Downs and Raynham Park to run HHR machines under licenses previously issued to the old racetracks. The Senate version does not include that provision, leaving it among the issues lawmakers must work out on a conference committee, reported The Boston Globe . Ron Mariano , House Speaker, has defended the measure as a way to raise more money for healthcare. The proposal calls for 2.5% of the total amount wagered on HHR machines to go to the state’s Health Safety Net trust fund . The fund helps hospitals and health centers care for the uninsured and underinsured. Backers say the new gambling operations could produce $120 million a year in tax revenue by their third year. However, the state’s three licensed casino operators dispute those projections, warning that the expansion could hurt existing income streams.
