Week In Review, July 18 to July 24

Glitz and glamour reigned once again in town when a local eatery was transformed into a Hollywood stage.

On Monday, Marblehead Cafe and Chowder Company was the location for filming of the new movie "Our Town." 

Also on Monday, MarbleheadPatch profiled five local women who serve as the town's lifeguards.

On Tuesday, we saw what local moms are doing to get  a work out and local historian Dick Carlson detailed his search to identify 600 Revolutionary War soldiers.

Perhaps foreshadowing a larger growing trend, the Marblehead Conservation Commission, is considering a proposed private pier off Neptune Road, stretching into Salem Harbor.

In a six hour, marathon meeting the School Committee worked to set the stage for the next fiscal year. The hotly contested athletic and activities user-fees was quickly shot down and Superintendent Paul Dulac said he is hoping to restore trust in the schools administrative offices. The search for a new superintendent will soon begin as well.

To close the week, Salem-based Rebel Shakespeare opened Friday night starring several Marblehead teens. 

Things got heated Saturday when two local chefs competed in a seafood throwdown at the Marblehead Farmers' Market.
