NORTHSHOREMAG.COM 8 JUNE + JULY 2020 PHOTOGRAPHS, TOP TO BOTTOM BY LISA HUTCHINGS, BY SHUTTERSTOCK, AND BY LENS BURGESS As we move through June into the height of summer, we are fortunate to live in a region with so many fun outdoor activities. Although COVID-19 restricts some of our summer travel plans, the North Shore is rife with places to frolic and play while keeping social distancing protocols in place. Bike trails, hiking paths, and, of course, endless Atlantic Coast beaches are all within our reach. In this issue we celebrate all things summer on the North Shore. From exploring some of our favorite parks and open spaces to backyard birding, sailing charters, and tuna fishing along our coastline, we hope to offer you great ideas to while away the days. We also visit a few of our favorite clam shacks around the North Shore. Summer just would not be complete without these succulent bivalves loaded onto a roll with a touch of lemon and pepper. We also talk to some of the region's top chefs to learn how to become grill masters in our own backyards. As COVID restrictions ease and we all may be allowed a bit of a sigh of relief, we want to remember all of those who have been affected by this unforgiving disease and are still being affected—whether it is through illness, unemployment, losing a business, or losing a loved one. The North Shore lost a prominent figure in its community this spring. William Daniels, co-owner of Richardson's for 45 years, passed away in April due to COVID-19. Known for his sweet tooth and affable demeanor, he will be missed by many, and we send our condolences to his family and friends and to all those at Richardson's who worked with "Mr. Bill." We also share ideas for giving back to our community and our frontline workers, who truly are the heroes of 2020. Whether it is by donating funds, making masks, or shopping for an elderly neighbor, there is still so much we can do to become part of the solution. We want to thank our Northshore magazine team—our staff, writers, and photographers— who have been working remotely to bring you this summer issue. And we would also like to recognize all of our advertising partners who have been able to continue to celebrate the North Shore with us. We hope you have a lovely and safe summer, Nancy E.
