I’ve had a pair for 4 years now.  this model came out over 20 years ago and still tops the charts for audiophiles.  They are so incredibly comfortable.  if you listen to music or a podcast with these instead of earbuds one time, you’ll never want to go back and for 50% off it’s a stupid awesome investment.  I LOOOOOOOVE mine.

Local Cellphone Repair Service From Alfonzo Millefoglie Is A No-Brainer

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

If you’ve ever cracked your cell phone screen and gone to the iPhone store to get it repaired, you’re talking like forever to get that shit fixed.  Orrrrrr, you could call Al or contact him on Facebook here- https://www.facebook.com/iFixiFonz , he could come to your house or work, and get it done within an hours time and you haven’t blown a day up at the mall when you’ve got a bajillion other better things to do- like go to the beach.

It’s cheaper,  it’s wayyyy more convenient,  it’s local,  and you get a glass screen protector included.

Duh!

Mystic Aquarium

Posted on by Nichole S.

This is for sure one of my favorite little getaways with the boys ever.  We do lots of one night trips whenever possible and a quick trip to Mystic, CT has been one of our annual overnights.  This year we went for two nights and did much more than usual.  So, lucky you, you get to look forward to a 2nd post all about the Mystic Seaport tomorrow…but, for now…the Mystic Aquarium is a must see for families with young kids.

They simply do everything right.

Call me a hypocrite if you’d like.  I get the whole “wild animals don’t belong in captivity” argument…and what’s more, I typically agree.  I will never take the boys to go see a circus and I will not visit zoos or aquariums that do not have adequate habitats for their animals.  That having been said, if the animals are clearly well-cared for and the habitats are gorgeous…and even more importantly, the facility has a reputation and clear mission for conservation and animal aid, then I am ok.

In my humble opinion, the Mystic Aquarium does all of that and more.  It is a fantastic place for young children to learn and laugh and is an incredible facility on many levels.

Please read all about it HERE!  MYSTIC AQUARIUM

One of the boys’ favorite things to do is help feed the critters.  Finn, in particular, always seems to bond on a whole new level.

Community Stuff 8/17/15

Hi Joey,
You may have covered this, but if not, I think it would make a great story: I always assumed that the Ben Smith playground, opposite Zeke’s, was maintained by the city. It is always in excellent condition, great for little kids. One day recently I was there with my grandchildren and saw a little old lady come in with her watering can and her weeding and pruning tools. She gave the place a once-over. She told me that, in fact, the city does not maintain the playground; she and her husband do. He comes by with his lawn mower once a week; she takes care of the plants. Sadly, I did not get her name.
What I did get is that people can make contributions to cover the costs of materials through The Gloucester Fund.
I think it would be a nice story if you interviewed this couple.
Thanks!
Miriam

Good morning!
I saw this post about lost glasses found and wondered if there is a lost and found at Good Harbor Beach?
My daughter lost a bracelet possibly in the parking lot ( sentimental value) and I wondered how I could help her search or contact anyone who may have found it!
Thanks for your help or info!
