@tenilleupdates @TenilleArts @MoSunArenaPA @walkerhayes @MoheganSun Loved TA's set at Mohegan Sun, but I'm still waiting for you to headline so we can hear more.

@HowardStern It looks effortless. Imagine what it could have been if Howard had put some effort into it.

@TenilleArts Tenille, saw your show in Gilford NH Sunday night. It left me wanting more! Six songs? That's not anywhere near enough. Please come back to New England as the headliner. Everyone knows you should have topped the bill...and played on. Love you!

@Meghan_Ottolini Meghan, did you catch the Daily Item's response to your tweet? The CT native came up with a few "boasts" for the state: two casinos (where you are guaranteed to leave with less $ than you went in with), and high praise for UConn where "it's "not a bad place to take classes."

The Lynn Journal killed my story about Mayor McGee, who sources said is quarantined due to virus exposure. It's posted on Swampscott Patch. See if you can figure out why they wouldn't run it. https://t.co/Hmk79RPG5w

For news you won't find elsewhere, check the Lynn Journal's story on how the city has come together to fight the virus. There's even a comment from a Lynn police capt. who contracted the virus, healed, and is back to work. https://t.co/9WvZ1fWMjr

Lynners: See the Journal's story about a $1.2M payout to Rafael Suazo's widow who was killed by a Lynn detective. The City Council quietly approved the payout last week with no questions asked. It's an item you won't find in the Globe or anywhere. https://t.co/ySzuPFpaeI

Who knew Bernie Sanders was following the neighborhood being built at Suffolk Downs? In a tweet he wrote "We need affordable housing...instead of more gentrifying luxury developments for the few. I stand with the longtime residents of East Boston fighting displacement.."

At 28, Cinda Danh nearly unseated a fellow Democrat on the Lynn City Council last fall. She later vowed to challenge an incumbent on the Democratic State Committee, but withdrew her request. Some are asking: Is she ready for Prime Time?

Worcester and Lynn pals: No wonder Maine's slogan is: "The Way Life Should Be." This photo was shot today in Lyman. Winters may be long and cold, but home heating oil is free!

I'm a die-hard Red Sox fan, but I rejoiced when Derek Jeter made the Baseball Hall of Fame Tuesday. I couldn't cheer for him at Fenway for fear of getting beer tossed at me or worse. But he was awesome and only wish he had spent his career in Boston. https://t.co/8kgIzztOve

Red Sox fans who saw Tony Conigliaro play at Fenway when a bleacher seat cost 75 cents, will love The Item's piece on the Tony C documentary shown at City Hall Friday nite. In his short career, Tony C bested the Evil Empire's Roger Maris' batting average. https://t.co/jESrVklaWa
