The former Wholly Cannoli location on Grafton Street.

490

A pretzel franchise with roots in Philadelphia is looking to open a store at the former Grafton Street location of Wholly Cannoli. Philly Pretzel Factory, a Pennsylvania-headquartered franchise, is eyeing the modestly sized building at 490 Grafton St., according to Madison O’Brien, an associate for Kelleher & Sadowsky, who marketed the building for owners CSE Real Estate LLC. The location was home for 24 years to Wholly Cannoli, which pumped out the last of its cannoli in July when the owners closed for good to retire. The vacant building shares a lot with a CVS Pharmacy and a TD Bank branch.

Thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents unaware that they qualified for lower gas and electricity bills will now get them.  A partnership involving several agencies and five utility companies doing business in Massachusetts will ensure the discounts are given, according to Gov. Maura T. Healey’s office.  It will deliver automatic discounts for those receiving MassHealth, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and Emergency Aid to the Elderly, Disabled, and Children.  Berkshire Gas, Eversource, Liberty Gas, National Grid and Unitil are participating utilities. The companies serve more than 3.5 million Massachusetts residents.

that claims its operations emit noxious odors that negatively impact the lives of nearby residents and businesses.  Feedback Earth Inc. processes food waste from manufacturers, grocery stores and restaurants into animal feed. The lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court by the office of Attorney General Andrea Campbell claims the odors from seven large exhaust stacks wafted into nearby properties. Complaints have rolled in from as far as 4.6 miles away from the facility that residents can’t enjoy the outdoors. There have also been reports of nausea and migraine headaches, according to the lawsuit.
