constant:
change
One. Two.
We enter One Magazine’s second year of publication with some changes. The magazine
itself is printed on a different stock with slightly altered page dimensions. It won’t
mean much to you, the reader; but it’s a benefit to our advertisers because it enables us
to increase circulation by inserting it into several newspapers produced by our parent
company, Essex Media Group: Lynnfield Weekly News and Peabody Weekly News, and
The Daily Item, which is distributed primarily in Lynn, Lynnfield, Malden, Marblehead,
Medford, Nahant, Peabody, Revere, Saugus, and Swampscott.
Within our circulation area, there have been a few changes, as well.
For starters, there’s been a lot more talk — and even some progress — on plans for rail
trails. Peabody and Danvers trails have been around for a few years, and more and more
communities are getting on board with the concept. Another 7.5 miles of continuous
trails are now open through Everett, Malden, Revere, and Saugus; and Lynn’s first path
section opened in September 2016. In April, rail-trail supporters in Lynnfield got their
win by just one vote. As was the case in Swampscott, the vote reflected just how divisive
an issue it became.
Downtown Lynn is looking a little different these days, too. Fifteen large-scale murals
have gone up on building sides - and lighting is set to be installed under railroad
bridges and vintage neon signs in and around the city’s Arts & Cultural District. What
began with former Lynn Community Development director Jansi Chandler in the
’90s has enjoyed a rebirth under Beyond Walls founder Al Wilson. The one constant is
Charlie Gaeta, who as chairman of EDIC/Lynn worked with Jansi and now with Al to
bring art to the masses.
In addition to street art and off-street bike paths, One also catches up with some of
the area’s past and current residents and business owners. You may have seen CBS News’
Steve Chaggaris or Boston 25 news anchor Heather Hegedus on TV, but One goes offcamera
to provide a closer look at how they got to their respective positions. We’ll also
introduce you to Sylvia Caruso, who is going the extra step to help patients in need.
Also in this issue, we’ll engage in some frank talk about hot dogs (get it, frank talk?);
look at a Peabody company that bakes all the doughnuts for local Dunkin’ Donuts
shops; see fashions that address the summertime blues; and hear Saugus writer Tom
Sheehan’s 89 years of memories.
And while I don’t quite have 89 years of memories, I have one that’s 50 years old: A
fastball hit him square; he’s down. Tony was badly hurt. Steve Krause brings back the
pain of Aug. 18, 1967, beginning on Page 25 (of course).
All in all, I hope you agree that editor Bill Brotherton has again produced One great
magazine.
