The Raising Cane’s fast food chain celebrated its golden 28th birthday Wednesday by opening its 828th store on Aug. 28 with help from Boston sports stars Jrue Holiday and David Ortiz. 

The store is located in downtown Boston and features a series of one-of-a-kind gold finishes. 

Speaking during Wednesday’s grand opening celebration, both Ortiz and Holiday admired the bling. 

“Gold is my thing,” Ortiz said, showing the familiar gold chain he was wearing. “…Can’t go no better than that.”

“Just seeing all this gold, it’s a bit overwhelming,” Holiday said. 

Raising Cane’s opened its first location in Louisiana in 1996. The chain now has six locations in Massachusetts, with another restaurant scheduled to open soon in Medford. 

On Wednesday, Ortiz and Holiday said bringing a new Cane’s location to the heart of Boston was important. 

Both stars said they also love immersing themselves in the community. 

“I’m so glad that I played in Boston,” Ortiz said, “because the fans in Boston got the best out of me…I learned while I played here that I had to get prepared to give my best everyday.”

Raising Cane’s fans waited in a long line outside the new location on Arch Street to check out the restaurant. 

As they made their appearance, Holiday and Ortiz sent love to the people of Boston. 

“Boston is a great city,” Ortiz said. “You can see the citizens and fans, how they support everything that gets to be well done here. Enjoy!”

The Downtown Boston Improvement District said the new Raising Cane’s location is a great commitment to the area. 

While opening its new location, Raising Cane’s said it also plans to give back $28M to local communities throughout the coming year.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
