If there’s one thing tech snobs are passionate about, it’s the sound coming out of their speakers. The increased access to digital music in an instant means that more personal and desktop speakers are emerging, but, sadly, the quality is often less than impressive. With the debut of Orb Audio’s cool compact speakers, however, you’ll get impeccable sound and some attractive eye candy, too.
Handmade in the
United States by artisan
metalworkers, the sculp-
tural steel design has a
sleek mod-retro feel—but
the sound is anything but
dated. Rich and evocative,
Orb’s new minispeakers
deliver a big stereo expe-
rience. And best
of all, they’re
priced for
budding
audio-
philes,
starting at
just $239.

Inside a bright orange delivery truck parked on State Street, Josh Lanahan and his wife, Michelle Lozuaway, cook up simple on-the-go meals for the Portsmouth lunch crowd.
A freshly ground hamburger sizzles on the grill.
“Order of pork and fries!” Lozuaway shouts. “T wo chicken!”
When they return this summer to the Prescott Park Arts Festival, it will be their second year in business.
“We were doing construction and the economy was not going to support that,” Lanahan says. “Over the winter, we said, ‘Let’s open another restaurant.’ Initially, we were going to do a burger shack, but we couldn’t find the right place, so we’re
like, ‘How about a mobile? If it doesn’t work, we can always move it.’ ”
Even without its bright orange color, it’s not every day that you see a roving taco truck in northern New England, especially one that lists its farmers on the menu and even includes some homegrown vegetables. It’s a fast-food vendor serving meals with a Slow Food ideology.
