Bull Market<br />

By any metric, MarketStreet is a smash success. That is borne out by the numbers – tax revenue<br />

from the development is double the projections – as well as the fact that finding a parking space can<br />

be a daunting task. The place is teeming with people eager to shop, or to eat, or to just look around<br />

and see and feel the buzz.<br />

One of the many highlights of the MarketStreet story is the number of women who have launched<br />

businesses there. Women have definitely cornered this market as businesses such as Grove Boutique<br />

& Cafe, Scout & Molly's, Pink Parkway, Southern Tide, Pretty Poppy, Fit Revolution or Solstice<br />

Power Yoga, have added spark and vitality to MarketStreet.<br />

Read Gayla Cawley's story on the phenomenon and then you might want to check out some of<br />

these places.<br />

On the economic development side, MarketStreet has succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams,<br />

and while that has not translated into lower residential tax bills, it has provided money for the town<br />

to pay for much-needed infrastructure without seeking overrides.<br />

Otherwise, says Selectman Phil Crawford, "we would have had multiple overrides and layoffs."<br />

Thomas Grillo has the story.<br />

Bill Brotherton profiles Steve DiFillippo, the king of the Davio's restaurant empire. DiFillippo used<br />

go sledding on the hills of the Colonial Golf Course. Now, his very successful restaurant sits on that lot.<br />

Bill also has another profile — this one on local Renaissance man John Michael Williams, a<br />

musician and songwriter who has earned national acclaim.<br />

Now . . . off MarketStreet.<br />

Growing up, it was hard to avoid Eddie Andelman. He was a pioneer of sports talk radio and while<br />

discussing, and often lampooning, our local teams he also made it clear he loved Chinese food.<br />

Now come sons Mike, Dave and Dan. You perhaps know them better as the "Phantom Gourmet"<br />

team. The program started in 1993 with the initial concept being anonymous restaurant reviews.<br />

Hence, the name.<br />

Dan, and then Mike (who prefers to work behind the scenes) joined the show and it became a true<br />

brother act.<br />

Bella diGrazia has the story.<br />

Elsewhere, peek inside a house on Lowell Street in our "House Money" section; get a look at<br />

what's hot (literally) in the line of cold-weather fashion on our "Style" pages.<br />

Thor Jourgensen has a story on Gary Green, who has capped off a successful real estate career by<br />

going back to school to study woodworking. He never had time for it while working, but now he does.<br />

Finally, and you'd be surprised perhaps, Lynnfield has, over the years, become a magnet for<br />

professional athletes. For that, and other tidbits of information, see "5 Things You Didn't Know<br />

About Lynnfield."<br />

Here's one thing you did know: The holidays are coming. Enjoy them.<br />
