This cool shot comes to us from Instagram user @wyo_not. Apparently, this pipe is located on an unmarked woods road off of West Parish Road. If you jump into it, you can skip to level 2, 3 or 4 (Note: do NOT try this at home unless you are playing Super Mario Brothers).

We have to go back! – Tue, 09 Apr 2013
Insider reader (and sometime correspondent!) Erin Woolf sent us this picture or her with the Insider in Phuket, Thailand. Oh no – that’s where that one really terrible episode of LOST where Jack gets a tattoo was set. If you have a travel photo with the Insider, send it to news@theconcordinsider.com and we may just print it here! Also – quick question: Is that person in the background dressed like a sexy beekeeper eating corn on the...
Honk if you're a goose – Tue, 09 Apr 2013
Forget about those boring old robins – it’s the traditional first goose of spring! Reader David Berliner sent us this pic of a goose that just moved in to town. He said the waterfowl was “honking like crazy” for a couple days until, lo and behold, his mate showed up! She was probably just putting on her beakstick.
Instagram photo of the week – Tue, 09 Apr 2013
This shot comes to us from Instagram user @ayummymommy. We think it’s safe to say that spring has sprung in Concord!

Merrimack Valley senior Hunter Darling bench presses under the watchful eye of spotter Ryan Hoar at the Benchathon Darling ran March 16 to raise money to fight breast cancer. Darling had raised $838 by last Friday and expected the total to exceed $1,000 before all was said and done.

Instagram photo of the week – Tue, 19 Mar 2013
This Instagram photo of the week comes to us from @calli0pe8. It’s, like, totally a metaphor for this winter and junk, you know? Because the turtle is, like, slow, and it’s carrying all the snow and it just won’t leave? Bonus: We’ve successfully created a metaphor using the word like. And they said it couldn’t be done (and shouldn’t, probably)!
Chillin' with the Pope – Tue, 12 Mar 2013
Chris and Jane Pappas traveled all the way to downtown Concord with the Insider for this photo . . . what’s that? That’s not the capital dome? As it turns out, this picture was taken at St. Basilica Square in Vatican City. Good thing they are safely back home, because we have a feeling that area is about to get a lot busier!
Instagram photo of the week – Tue, 12 Mar 2013
On Oct. 13, 1899, Spanish-American War hero Admiral George Dewey’s train made a brief stop in Concord, where it was saluted with 17 railroad torpedoes (small explosives used as a warning for oncoming trains) as it approached and departed the station. Pretty cool stuff!
Classic Concord photo – Tue, 05 Mar 2013
A couple weeks back, we ran a classic Concord photo of downtown’s Masonic Block all gussied up for a parade. Reader DJ Annicchiarico of United Shoe Repair (housed in the self-same Masonic Block) hooked us up with this picture of the block after it was ravaged by a fire in 1962. The building was subsequently torn down and replaced with the buildings you see today. Thanks for the photo, DJ!

Golden ticket – Tue, 26 Feb 2013
Ray and Nancy Lucier (pictured) and Bob and Sherrie Berube took the Insider with them on a co-golden anniversary trip to several western national parks. Here they are at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Between both couples, that’s 200 years of marriage experience! We bet they still can’t decide who gets the television remote, though. If you take the Insider with you on a trip, golden or otherwise, send us pictures at...
