The Hingham business owner said he looks forward to being at next year’s Boston Marathon.
Mark Wahlberg said he will reunite with his old hip-hop group, the Funky Bunch, to raise money for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Wahlberg, who is co-owner of Alma Nove and Wahlburgers in Hingham, told TMZ on Wednesday that “he's totally game” to get the gang back together for a fundraiser.

The family-friendly puppet show will be on the local stage April 13-14.
Charlestown Working Theater will present the family-friendly puppet show "Squirrel Stole My Underpants" on April 13 and 14. In the show, Sylvie is sent to the backyard to hang up the laundry.
