Local woman started bow Wow! dog walking service earlier this year. Serves Wakefield, Lynnfield, Melrose and Stoneham.
Local resident Nancy Dow has turned a lifelong love of animals into a new business serving area pet owners - The bow Wow! dog walking service, serving residents of Wakefield, Lynnfield, Melrose and Stoneham.

Each week, Lynnfield Patch takes a look at a distinctive home on the market in town.
I think some folks are bound to know what I mean when I call this house at 674 Main Street "an American Classic." It's real. That huge porch. The nice big yard. A barn out back. Construction Year: 1900. If there's an apple tree anywhere on the grounds, I like it even more. This is the sort of place that begs for a cold lemonade after you're done mowing the lawn, he waxed whimsically on a late Friday afternoon. It invokes thoughts of past generations and of great holiday gatherings perhaps. But here's what it really reminds me of - It's the sort of house where Ray Bradbury would have set one of his legendary stories in, if that obscure mention makes any sense whatsoever here. So here's a bit more - the living room has a fireplace and a …

Project is in very early stages - Lynnfield Rotary set to provide financial support for materials, local vocational school students would do the work.

A round up of North Shore restaurant and food news.
When you're looking for a night out and a break from cooking, you might want to know what's new not only where you live, but also in other North Shore communities. Here's our round up of the area's latest food news: We've reported recently about the reopening of The Ship, the unmistakeable Route 1 landmark. This week we uncovered a relic of that restaurant's precursor, the Ship's Haven. While searching eBay, we came across a 1930s era menu from the local landmark.

The whole North Shore is abuzz over Beverly native Angie Miller, who has made the top three in "American Idol." Among …
