Why was this blazing pizza oven being towed through Boston tunnel traffic?
Wood-fired pizza caterer Fired Up said it received a “flood” of messages after video of its lit oven going through a Boston tunnel was shared online.

YOUR VIEW: CAL Express will ‘widen the road’
The expansion of Plymouth’s CAL Express transportation program is more than an adjustment to a schedule. For an older adult who cannot drive, a ride can determine whether the day includes friendship, a class, a medical appointment, or hours of unwanted isolation.
