Today's riddle: Why did the chicken go to the gym? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• The Chicken & Rice Guys to open Woburn hub, with takeout (nbcboston.com) — A new Chicken & Rice Guys hub is coming to 218 West Cummings Park in Woburn, bringing a 5,000-square-foot commissary and warehouse that will eventually offer local takeout. The move from Everett is meant to expand their food truck, catering, and restaurant operations into new markets north of Boston, giving Woburn residents easier access to their halal street food.
• Home Depot submits initial plans to take over Showcase Cinemas property (homenewshere.com) — Home Depot is moving toward redeveloping Woburn's long-vacant Showcase Cinemas site into a 134,800-square-foot store and garden center, with a second commercial phase still undecided. City officials are bracing for big traffic, flooding, and environmental questions as state reviewers accept public comments through Sept. 8 and Woburn boards prepare for detailed site plan and stormwater scrutiny.
• David Solet Concedes Middlesex District Attorney Primary Race To Marian Ryan (patch.com) — From Woburn, residents are learning that incumbent Marian Ryan has secured the Democratic nomination for Middlesex District Attorney after challenger David Solet conceded Tuesday night. The race focused on public safety, criminal justice reform, and how the DA's office handles issues like gun trafficking, diversion programs, and emerging technology-related crimes that affect communities across the county.
