Sophie Devaney shares the story of Sophie's Pizza Place.
Sophie Devaney said she and her family have been working on pizza since she was 13, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Shortly after college I was working at a bank, and it was a kind of sit down job in customer service like we’re doing here,” she said. “I wanted to try something different, as I grew up in this business. I found myself coming back to it.” Devaney said she just wanted something with a quicker pace, and found it again at Sophie’s Pizza. “I just love the atmosphere, the running around and the fast-paced environment,” she said. Sophie’s Pizza Place opened in April in 2008 in Easton, but Devaney said her family had owned a pizza place in Norwood for 23 years. “This opportunity came up and we thought we’d broaden our …

The youth baseball league has become a staple in Southeastern Massachusetts
It's hard to imagine now, but Leo Johnson of Attleboro recalls a time when summertime youth baseball in Southeastern Massachusetts was in jeopardy. The Southeastern Youth Baseball Association folded at the end of the summer in 1994, leaving the local parks empty, diamonds cleared and a hole where the area's youth wanted to play ball after the spring season. According to Johnson, though, Frank Giffune wasn't going to stand for it. The Foxboro resident went to work, creating the Hockomock Summer Baseball League, which is now synonymous with summertime south of Boston. "All of these years later, we’re still going strong," Johnson said. "It’s definitely one of the best summer baseball leagues in the state. Right now we have 15 towns in the …
