Danvers Zip Trip on FOX25

What a great time this morning in Danvers! The folks over at FOX25 were kind enough to invite me onto their show this morning as they broadcast live from Danvers. I used to work at FOX25 so it was great to see some friendly old faces. Kim Carrigan and I chatted about the magazine and a few key spots in Danvers that you all should check out.

Here’s the video:

A couple great quotes from Kim Carrigan about the magazine:

“Since it [the BONS issues] has come out, my husband and I have been using it as a bible! I have it in the car. We’ve had great sushi on the North Shore as a result, we’ve had great Brazilian barbecue…You want to be sure to pick up the magazine because you can keep it your car year-round and you can find all these wonderful spots.”

“Let me just say this about Northshore Magazine, it is an absolutely beautiful publication. It’s easy to read and for those of us who live up here on the North Shore, it really is a great asset.”

And here’s me with Kim. For more on the FOX25 Zip Trip to Danvers, head over to myfoxboston.com for lots of photos and video.
