Barstool's Dave Portnoy has continued his pizza review quest in June 2026, hitting up three more Massachusetts spots to give them his ratings. That means he's now visited 10 places in New England so far this year, all of them in the Bay State. (Sadly, he hasn't been back to Maine or New Hampshire since 2023 and 2024, respectively.) There's still plenty of 2026 and pizza joints left for that number to increase, but let's take a look at the current list.

Five brave souls from Massachusetts affixed their names to the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago. Can you name them? Most people know that John Adams, who later became the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was among the members of the Massachusetts delegation to the Continental Congress to sign the Declaration of Independence, but do you recall the names of the others?

NEW BEDFORD (WBSM) — The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is warning motorists ahead of time that there are likely to be issues later this week with the New Bedford-Fairhaven Bridge due to expected high temperatures.

An Attleboro woman has been indicted for the 1985 murder of her newborn son, the latest cold case to move forward through Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III’s expanded efforts to identify remains through DNA testing and other means. Quinn announced today that Dianne Curry Peck, 59, of Attleboro, was indicted this afternoon by a Bristol County Grand Jury. She is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday morning, June 30, in Fall River Superior Court.

As times have changed, so has how America celebrates the Fourth of July. Independence Day photos from the early 1900s show groups celebrating at low-key public events. If the kids got a chance, they may have whipped up a fun costume complete with pretend fireworks made out of paper. Years later, cities started to go all-in. Residents would unfold their lawn chairs along the street for the annual Fourth of July parade.

It's OK to admit that watching people scarf down hot dogs is as much of a Fourth of July tradition as fireworks and cookouts. If you have never seen the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, you are really missing out on some mindless fun. Contestants from around the globe descend upon Coney Island in New York to see how many hot dogs they can eat in 10 minutes. It's sloppy, simple and yet rather impressive once you see how many hot dogs one person can finish off in that time.

The highlight of this year's Fourth of July party doesn't have to be fireworks lighting up the sky. Instead, but your creativity to work in the kitchen to make one of these show-stopping red, white, and blue dishes to win over your guests. This is for your guests who want to feel like they're eating healthy while also indulging in some sweet dessert during the holiday.

If you're living in the great state of Massachusetts and you're feeling patriotic, you need to read this before you bust out your rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. Massachusetts has no shortage of some antiquated and downright silly laws, but the regulations surrounding how you can or cannot sing the national anthem have got to top the list.

The 4th of July is right around the corner, this Saturday, as a matter of fact. In case you weren't aware, since the 4th falls on a Saturday this year, the federal holiday is on Friday, July 3. So, get ready for a three-day weekend of fun and festivities. While on the topic of festivities, people throughout Massachusetts will be viewing fireworks displays, attending parades, and hosting or attending picnics. Speaking of picnics, that's one of the festivities I always look forward to. What can I say?
