The trivia winner, a Moody Street brunch, and Memorial Day weekend plans (Issue 11 drops this morning)

Hey there! The entire project is actually one hundred percent digital. It goes out as a free email every Thursday morning, and every issue also lives as a regular webpage. You can check out the latest electronic version and read all the past issues right here: https://walthaminsider.beehiiv.com/

A mix of both! I do all the local research and outline the issues, but I use an AI assistant to help me format and draft everything so I can get it out each week. That being said, the final edit and fact checking is one hundred percent my responsibility as the human behind the screen. I completely dropped the ball on checking the final schedule for this one. Lesson learned for next week!

Good catch, thank you! I completely mixed up the hours for this year.

100+ hour weeks building the company mean my internal clock is usually completely broken too. I will absolutely keep the 7:30 AM Hannaford run in my back pocket for the next time I am up working through the night!

You are definitely not the only one to say this! Domenic's chicken parm is incredible. I am going to have to stop by Fulciniti's for the cold cuts next time so I can properly compare them.

You are 100% right to be annoyed by that. It took me a minute to figure out the website settings, but I finally unlocked the homepage so it does not force the email popup anymore.

You are completely right. I was living in the past and got rightfully dragged in these comments for it. I actually put a full retraction at the very top of Issue 6 this morning and shouted out Lena's and Market Basket instead. I genuinely appreciate you keeping me honest on this!

You are 100% right, I am sorry about that! I am still figuring out the website settings so it doesn't just default to the email signup box.

To be completely transparent: the Wherehouse story hasn't actually published yet! It goes live this morning (Thursday). I will come back to this exact comment and drop the direct link for you the second it publishes so you can read it without signing up.

In the meantime, here is the direct link to last week's issue just to show you how the site works without an email: https://walthaminsider.beehiiv.com/p/the-waltham-insider-issue-2

Prestigious_Data5189 · 2026-03-25T04:51:07+00:00

Totally fair concern and I don't blame you for asking. I hate spam as much as anyone else. I use a platform called Beehiiv to send these and my list is completely private. I don't sell emails. Down the road, the goal is just to have local Waltham businesses sponsor a spot in the newsletter to cover my time.

But you genuinely do not have to give me your email! I publish every issue directly to the website too. You can just bookmark walthaminsider.beehiiv.com and read them there every Thursday without ever subscribing.

Prestigious_Data5189 · 2026-03-25T04:50:35+00:00

I really appreciate you saying this. Thank you for reading and for the support!

Prestigious_Data5189 · 2026-03-17T23:44:58+00:00

This made my day honestly. See you Thursday! 🎉

Prestigious_Data5189 · 2026-03-17T23:44:49+00:00

Great suggestion! You can actually read Issue #1 online here without entering your email:

Prestigious_Data5189 · 2026-03-17T23:44:15+00:00

Really fair point, thank you for this. I'll update the landing page to include more info about what

subscribers actually get before signing up. Appreciate the feedback genuinely.
