Did the Boston stations somehow miss this? Absolutely incredible!

Best news story I've seen in a long, long time. Thanks, Matt Shearer!

First ice cream stand ice cream of the year today... A baby size? Like, the smallest size you can get? $6.75. 🤯

The best of the best.

This tribute to @AlisonNBCBoston is a must-watch. Thank you, Alison, for giving me my first shot at doing political analysis. You believed in me, and gave me the push I needed to put myself out there. Much love to you!

Rooting for you from Haverhill, @MattNBCBoston and Danielle Noyes (Niles)! This is going to be great!

Any other Honda drivers dealing with bait-and-switch on their recent fuel pump recall? Commonwealth Motors, @hondanorthdanve and Prime Honda 128 all charge pricey diagnostic fees just to see if the "check engine" light is related to the recall. If not, they keep your cash. AG Andrea Joy Campbell
