Last week we turned our “tech corner” into the “virtual view”…giving our audience a virtual tour inside the South Shore. Last week we walked our fingers through Weymouth and here’s what we found:
The Wikipedia fun fact: “Weymouth has 14 Dunkin Donuts”
MassInfo says “Weymouth has 56,545 people and was started in 1635 and is home to Abigail Adams”
Plus we found:
* residents go down memory lane – youtube video of Weymouth Landing in 1948
Another addition to our new “lost & found category” is Chris aka Mr. Maple Syrup in Weymouth.
So last week on the Virtual View of Weymouth we found this awesome video of this kid who tapped a tree in his front yard and made 1 pancake’s worth of maple syrup. Check it out:

We don’t actually know Chris, so as you can imagine it’s been a challenge trying to track him down. We tried to post him a message on youtube, but no dice. We asked for him on the radio last week. Still no dice. So if you know him, call us tonight or post a comment here. And Chris, no worries if the experiment didn’t actually work. We love the idea anyway…so come talk to us.
Last week Tina called in and asked “What’s the name of that new restaurant coming to Milton?”
Well Tina – we looked and we found 2 new ones:
#1 a restaurant called 88 Wharf is coming to Milton Landing this month [July]. Looks like it might be an upscale bistro with Mediterranean and American cuisine, overlooking the Neponset River
#2 Across town, is a restaurant called Abby Park also opening this month [July]. It’s at 550 Adams Street in the former Videos to Go spot in East Milton Square near the Southeast Expressway. The website says to expect American cuisine and it looks yummy from the photos. http://www.abbypark.com/
Thanks for calling in Tina!

The Entourage hit Caffe Tosca in Hingham and a fun time was had by all! It was a gorgeous night on the south shore and we got an early start to our evening – because we knew we had a lot of eating ahead of us! We met Chef Tony for a quick hello before we sat by the window for our meal. With tasty libations from the bar in hand we were treated to our first course: a chilled strawberry soup with basil. This dish is from the lunch menu but Chef Tony knew we’d love it – and it was amazing. With a silky texture, the fresh strawberry soup was so delicious and light. The shredded basil was the most surprising but most perfect compliment!
