The Central Artery/Tunnel Project, known as the "Big Dig," was one of the most remarkable engineering feats and roadway construction projects in history. The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a prominent feature. The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is a Boston icon and landmark, both a result of the Big Dig. The transformation of Spectacle Island from a city garbage dump that was once polluting Boston Harbor into a national and state park is lesser-known.
Specs of Spectacle Island is the story of Specs, a chipmunkel born and raised on Spectacle Island, and his journey during the Big Dig. The chipmunkels, living on Spectacle Island were forced to live underground to escape the construction and turmoil during the island's restoration. Specs, annoyed having to live life underground, leaves the island in search of a better life.
He swims to some of the other harbor islands only to find he is rejected. The inhabitants call him the "Spectacle Creature" from the contaminated island and chase him away. He travels to Boston and struggles to adjust to life in the big city. Making friends with the mud rats in the subway, he learns about the Big Dig and the dirt getting shipped to some island in the harbor. Recognizing it must be Spectacle Island, he goes back home. Except the island no longer resembles the place he left. He cannot find his family or any other chipmunkels. Instead, he finds lots of other strange animals now living on the island.
Spectacle Island has an intriguing history. Generating a curiosity about the Big Dig and Spectacle Island, Specs of Spectacle Island: A story of an island from trash to treasure provides a background of the enormous, complex project underpinning the island's transformation and Boston Harbor's cleanup. The book includes information about Spectacle Island, the Big Dig, the Zakim Bridge, and The Greenway.
​Spectacle Island is accessible by public ferry, private boats, or charter boat. The visitor’s center has a café and museum. Hiking trails offer views of neighboring Boston Harbor Islands and Boston’s skyline. If you go to Spectacle Island and you hike one of the many trails, be sure to look for chipmunkels.

In this episode, Derek is joined by Season II guest CJ Fitzwater for a great chat with Retired Navy Officer and Veterans' Service Officer, Kevin Hunt on understanding the process off getting Federal assistance for medical care for Veterans injured during their time of service.

In this episode Kevin discusses: 
- How to determine the total amount of your check the Government owes you
- 'Voodo Math' on determining that amount
- The PACT ACT

The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that we assume (or “presume”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.

This page will help answer your questions about what the PACT Act means for you or your loved ones. You can also call us at 800-698-2411 (TTY: 711). And you can file a claim for PACT Act-related disability compensation or apply for VA health care now.

***Mention THREEGUYS code good for 15% off at mcacao***

Founder and Chocolatier Michael Nichols has always loved food. After leaving his engineering career, he craved a new challenge. During a vacation in Peru, he found one. He heard the siren song of chocolate. He knew he wanted to apply his modern engineering sensibilities to making chocolate, treating the ingredient as a gourmet whole food. He was tired of the over-sugared, over-processed chocolates on the market. He wanted to raise the bar. 

 When he returned from Peru, Michael enrolled in culinary school and it was there that he met Chef Delphin Gomes. Chef Delphin grew up in the Burgundy region of France and has been working in the pastry arts since he was 14 years old. Michael knew immediately upon meeting Chef Delphin that he had found his culinary partner, and m cacao chocolates was founded soon after.  

The spirit of adventure and curiosity drives us. We use the highest quality chocolate to explore other whole, high quality ingredients, cuisines, cultures, places, and history. We're not just making chocolates — we're crafting experiences from real food. We don’t over-sweeten our creations or pack them full of refined sugars. 

We search out unique ingredients and unlock their fullest capacity for flavor, texture, and aroma. But that’s all a given. That’s simply where we start our culinary process. 

 m cacao is what happens when a French master pastry chef and chocolatier teams up with an engineer from Texas who traded his profession (robots) for his passions of food and chocolate. It’s an approach that sees the epicurean classics as building blocks for culinary exploration and innovation. It’s what happens when we charge chocolatiers and chefs with exploring ingredients, their histories, and their possibilities. And it’s what happens when we treat chocolate as a sacred food passed down to us from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, not as a flavoring for candy. Not that there’s anything wrong with well-crafted candy…but that isn’t what we’re doing at m cacao. We’re making chocolates for people who truly love food, and we take that distinction pretty seriously. 

 We’re curious and innovative by nature. The culture of constant inspiration and creative application of flavors and techniques come from the dynamic that Michael and Chef Delphin have created. It is in that spirit that we present to you the culmination of a lifetime of passion and experience in chocolate and food: the m cacao Chocolate Collections.

A History Chat on Lawrence's (MA) 'Four Theaters in a Row' and The Merrimack Valley's Hollywood Connections-Featuring Local Historians Joe Bella and Thomas Spitalere

About the Four Theaters in the Row
Just after the turn of the 20th century, new theaters began to spring up, some in converted older buildings, most as new theaters. At first, the silent film program also included vaudeville shows or celebrities like John L. Sullivan or Helen Keller. At first, Toomey & Demara (Thomas F. Toomey and Napoleon Demara) Amusement Co. owned and operated the Empire, Premier, Colonial, and Broadway (built by Louis B. Mayer) theaters. Later, The Empire Amusement Co., headed by Dr. Alexander l. Siskind, purchased the Empire, Palace, Broadway, and Premier and took a lease on the Colonial. Dr. Siskind had started his association with the movie industry when he opened the Marquise Theater, one of Lawrence's earliest cinemas. His next purchase was the Victoria, which sat opposite the "4 theaters in a row." The four theaters were: the Astor, the Strand, the Broadway, and the Modern. This was considered so unusual that it was highlighted in Ripley's believe it or not!

Gavin Marengi a young songwriter from Salisbury, MA. His debut album is making waves all over the North Shore. His incredible ability to tell a story through song along with his unique voice and play style makes this 15-year-old musician a hit every stage he steps on. His background in a small town and the experiences he had growing up are often reflected in the writing of his songs. The young man, who is only 15 years old, manages to captivate audiences everywhere he goes with his impressive guitar playing and raspy voice. His heartfelt music is a fusion of Americana, Classic Folk, Southern Rock, and Outlaw Country.
His song “Southbound” was his debut single that arrived on all platforms February 10th 2023. This song was a reflection on what he thinks and how he portrays his music journey if he left his small town of Salisbury. With a touch of heartfelt weeping slide guitars and a fast paced, catchy melody it shows the young 15 year old boy's passion and ability to do what he loves, write songs. He has a 10 song album coming out in late March 2023. Stay tuned on this young man's journey as we know there is something there. But he would just tell you he’s just a boy chasing a dream.
