Popular local eatery closed for renovations last August. Re-opening is today.
A popular Wakefield eatery is back open for business on Wednesday, following a nearly eight-month hiatus. Slice Pizza and More now shares building space with the Prime gas station at the junction of Salem and Lowell Streets, steps away from the site of the former building where it was originally located. Paul and John Cucinatti, two cousins from Winchester, first opened Slice back in the fall of 2009. While this is their first business, other family members run the restaurant Orzo in North Andover.

Boston Marathon bombing victims being treated as outpatients at Boston-area hospitals are eligible to receive One Fund Boston payments. Claims are now being accepted through June 15, and the money will start being handed out on June 30 on a rolling basis, according to One Fund Boston's website.

Each week, Wakefield Patch takes a look at a distinctive or interesting home currently on the market in town.
Here's a recent addition to the Wakefield real estate market - a 10 room Victorian at 1 Morrison Ave. built in 1900 that boasts 10 total rooms (3.5 baths), many with hardwood floors, with at least one fireplace. The place is on about a quarter acre of land and the listing mentions a master suite plus some space that could potentially become an in-law apartment. That porch looks like an extra strong selling point, and the grounds suggest good potential for those who like gardening and/or landscaping. This place also just has that great character consistent with its era, selling for far less than many of the newer, less unique looking homes out there. This home is listed by Boardwalk Real Estate, Sumi Sinnatamby. For property assistance, …
