Husbands & Wives, a group of four hardworking and talented lads who hail from Canton, finally released their debut album, “Prepare To Meet Thy God,” July 14.

Who doesn’t love Pez, the sugary little almost-rectangles that spit out of a plastic cartoon character’s neck when its head is snapped back? Pezamania is the world’s largest gathering of Pez-o-philes, and the place to go to find that special Pez dispenser that you’ve wanted since you were a kid.
