REVERE – The sun was shining on Revere Beach on Wednesday and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. “I’m laughing because I have to be at work,” one man joked.
I’m sure his boss understands that you should take advantage of a scenic day.
Take it from these two friends packing up after a day at the beach. “It just cheers you up and just makes you feel great,” Shirley Longo told WBZ-TV.

What a welcome change! The weeks of rain and overcast skies can put a damper on your mood, especially if Revere Beach is your front yard.
“Let me tell you. We’ve been very depressed this past month because we come here all the time and we love to sit outside,” said Margie Alberti, a longtime Revere Beach resident. ‘That bothered me about the rain. We couldn’t come to Santorini.’
The warming and sunshine are great for the restaurants along Revere Beach. “It’s really good for business. The good weather, especially at the beach, attracts a lot of people,” said the Santorini owner.
‘Hopefully it stays calm’
But the heat can sometimes attract the wrong kind of crowd. Around this time last year, violence broke out near the bandstand police respond to stabbings and shootings.
Alberti sees the positive side. “Yes, the kids were annoying, but they haven’t been there, so hopefully it stays calm,” she said.
“I was super excited,” Keon Adams said. “I couldn’t wait to take my boy out so he can enjoy the weather and have fun.”
All you can do is do a happy dance for the sun… and hope it sticks around!
