Small Business Spotlight:

Maxie's Deli in Stoughton

Check out the Jewish deli celebrating 30 years of delicious food!

A one-of-a-kind Jewish deli located in Norfolk County is celebrating thirty years of preserving Jewish tradition through food. If you're looking to taste history, check out Maxie's Deli, who prides themselves in makes all of their specialties from scratch using recipes that date back to the early 1900’s.

Maxie's Deli was founded in May of 1993. The Jewish Deli is described as "a throwback in the most traditional sense, people with personality and many years in the business work(ing) hard behind the glass counter, in the kitchen and delivering the meals. The food is what you'd expect of such a hard-working place."

Pawsome Pet of the Week:

Baby Seal Finds Freedom!

Check out this adorable baby seal who became lost!

I know this adorable baby seal isn't technically a pet, but it was too cute not to share! Beach rangers found this baby seal on Duxbury beach after he accidentally found his way to a backroad behind the beach!

The little seal was helped by multiple organizations, including Marine Mammal Rescue. The group was able to work together to move the baby seal back to the beach successfully. Duxbury Beach Operations has since reported the happy news that the baby seal has made its way back to the ocean!
