Richard Auffrey reports that Prince Pizzeria, a.k.a. the Leaning Tower of Pizza, in Saugus, now has a $5 lunch pizza buffet. Also ziti and garlic bread - and for dessert, fruit pizza - just in case the pizza doesn't deliver your minimum daily requirement of carbs.

Stephie says farewell to Richard Cashin, the State Police captain who died in a car accident in Saugus early yesterday:

... Ryan had him two years ago as a Lacross Ast. Coach. He had lots of passion for the kids and the sport. He treated them fairly and if you wern't so good at it he took the time to show you the way. Ryan goes to school with his son and the other sons is Stephens age. He has two older daughters also in their late 20's. He put a lot of time, effort and love into his community and it is truly a tragic loss for not only his family but the Tri-town too. Please take a moment in your hearts for him and the others he left behind, tonight at dinner we did. ...

Channel 4 reports on the Saugus crash early this morning.

Terry Klein alerts us to Giuffrida vs. High Country Investor, a case in which a court will eventually decide whether the family of the founder of the Hilltop Steakhouse in Saugus gets to eat there for free for their rest of their lives.

Greg MacKay captures a classic scene on Rte. 1 in Saugus.

Tyrannosaugus Rex looks none the worse for wear after his recent encounter with a dino-tipper.

True, 10-foot long inflatable rats fit right in on Rte. 1 in Saugus, but they are still resulting in gawkablawkkas, since drivers have yet to get used to them, as opposed to orange dinosaurs or fiberglass cows or a leaning tower of pizza.

I am devastated to learn that someone managed to tip or pull over the giant orange dinosaur that sits in the mini-golf course on Rte 1 South. Full story in the Herald is here.

The owner says that he will rise again, just like Jesus (seeing as the event took place on Easter Sunday, I'm glad she has a sense of humor about it). I sure hope he does. I love that thing. And once he's back up, I'm totally going to go visit him. 20 plus years of driving by and smiling is too long.

When I first came to the area for college in 1984 (when some of you was wearin' dipeys) I loved seeing this dino on the side of the road. My kids say "Hi Dinosaur!" when we drive past. As I've recently gotten crazy with taking a lot of photos for my flickr account, I had intended for a good long time to swing by there, park, and go photograph my favorite fiberglass orange beast.

Never try to rob a Dunkin' Donuts, because that's where all the cops are.
