Hollywood Comes to Quincy
A newly released rom-com movie was filmed in Quincy last year!
Everyone knows when popular movie stars come to town to film... from fake set signage to closed roads, it can be a real showstopper!

A secret message for those who made it this far...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for subscribing to this newsletter and reading it every week. For some reason that I cannot explain, this newsletter feels like one of the most important things I've ever created on the internet, and I've been around the 'world wide web' since the dial-up days!
Inspiring people to find their community and become a larger part of it has been something I've been doing since I was a child. For example, when I was in 7th grade I got my first phone with a keyboard- the orange LG enV- and I started my first newsletter, which went out every morning to all my friends who had a phone. Inspired by my new phone, I named it the enV Newsletter. I've come a long way from writing to my friends on the way to school what the weather was going to be that day during recess and if we should wear coordinating colors, and yet I still feel that same sense of connection to my readers today as I did to my best friends in my school days.
I love sitting down to create & send this newsletter out. It has truly become my favorite part of the week, and I hope you can feel some of that love as you scroll through it. Thank you for making it this far, I can't wait to see what the future brings!
~ Love, Community Connection's founder, Dianna Carney
