Coastal Dog Apparel: Chafing your troubles away, and donating the proceeds to charity.
Stephanie Magee, like millions of mothers before her, was stumped. Her son was uncomfortable in his swimsuit, at age 8, and was old enough to let her know it. "Every year, every vacation, every summer it would come up," said Magee. "It didn't matter if it was the beach or the pool, he was chafing and it was a problem for all of us." And like millions of mothers, Magee tried every quick fix she could dream up: Various styles of suits, snipping out the lining, underwear under the bathing suit; you name it, she tried it. And then she tried something else -- designing a suit of her own. The resulting design -- a suit with a longer interior liner made of a soft nylon blend that fits almost like athletic compression shorts -- has become the …

West Concord got a little love from Chronicle earlier this week, and featured businesses include Slow Pokes, Merlin’s Silver Star Studio, Hammersmith Studios and 1-on-1 Self Indulgence.
The first stop was SlowPokes, where Chronicle pointed out how zoning restrictions prevent the biz from advertising, so word of the bodacious barbeque must pass word-of-mouth. And Hilary Taylor of Merlin’s Silver Star Studio shared her story, before Chronicle made its way to Hammersmith Studios and then on to 1 on 1 Self Indulgence. In case you missed it, check out WCVB's Chronicle segment here.
Winstanley Enterprises, LLC. of Concord, and Surrey Equities, LLC. of New York, have acquired the historic 450,000 square-foot Warwick, RI, mall for $38 million. The seller was GLL Real Estate Partners from Orlando.
