Thank you so much for visiting Lynn. I have lived here my entire life and find it a wonderous source of interest. I have even found relics of the old Lynn shoe factory buried in my yard.
My family and I watch and wave to Sky Fox from our deck at "25" Sargents Court whenever possible.
This morning we made a trip down to the beach just to see our Fox "25" family. My daughter wore her home made Lynn Zip Trip t-shirt and had everyone sign it.
It is truly great to see Lynn Pride in all the faces of the folks who showed up down the beach.
We love Lynn and are glad to share the city with Fox "25"!

Great job today, Fox 25. I turned on the news at 5:00 a.m. to see my wonderful city being highlighted. There are so many wonderful sites and programs in Lynn....Girls, Inc., Mary Baker Eddy House, Lynn historical Society, Lynn Woods, our great high school students, and, of course, let's not forget FLUFF! Anyway, I can't thank you enough for showing the rest of the State that Lynn has so much more to offer, than the awful news that seems to be the only news that makes the news. Yes, this is a very big city. What big city doesn't have it's problems? You saw it today...the great City of Lynn, and it's fantastic people. Go, LYNN!

Very often Lynn makes the news for the negative. It was so nice to see Lynn on the news today for the better things it has to offer. There's so much more to Lynn than the crime and drama and Fox 25 did a great job depicting some of that. Thank you Fox 25! You did an outstanding job!

After watching Zip Trip about Hardwick, we went! It was the most romantic day! The Fair was great, but the winery was better! ;) I will definitely go back to Hardwick.

We have had a lot of negativity and tragedy within our city recently and as a lifelong resident and mom, i want to thank FOX 25 FAMILY for coming out and allowing the residents of LYNN to show the outside, that the city has alot of positive people and much history to share and it is all not negative. We all had a great time, and hope you all will come back next year

2008-08-29 12:33:59 ET

I want to thanks Fox News for showing Lynn in the positive light it deserves. The city's rish history and present day victories are sometimes overshadowed by violence. We welcome everyone to share this wonderful city. Please come and enjoy all Lynn has to offer. Who knows, maybe you will stay for a while! There are plenty of gorgeous lofts available in the downtown. Thanks again. We hope you return soon (like next week). Go Lynn! Vote, vote,vote...

Great job!!! I'm a lifelong resident of Lynn. I watch Fox 25 every morning. It was great to see Lynn showcased. We have alot of great kids in this city.
Its a shame they don't get showcased more often. The city is struggling just like other cities in the Commonwealth. More often Lynn is in the news for other reasons. Thanks for coming to see our great city.

I was SO happy to hear that the last zip trip of 2008 was going to be done in LYNN! It's not as bad as everyone says it is. Yes, there are problems, but what city doesn't have it's issues?

And the cast of the morning crew (of COURSE Doug is the favorite) were SO SWEET!!!!!! Everyone signed our lovely homemade Doug shirts :) We were sad Cindy and Q couldn't make it, even though we made Q sick with our shirts!

Thank you guys again for coming to Lynn!

Ziptrip was so much fun, although I felt bad for Doug he needs a bodyguard to fend off all the women. Kim,Gene, VB (my favorite) and Doug were all really nice and act the same way on camera and off. Kim is really pretty in person the camera doesn't do her justice. All the food was delicious especially the cookies and the hot blueberry muffins. I hope they come back in the future to do it again and i hope Q and Cindy make it.

My wife and I voted for Hardwick for two reasons - 1) we live right up the road from Hardwick and love the town and 2) we'd love to see Doug on that tractor again 'cause he looked like he was having such a good time! Plus there were no traffic jams in Hardwick so he didn't have to work too hard on that! Love your zip trips!

Thanks for coming out to Braintree the birthplace of John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Hancock, and General Sylvanus Thayer, the father of West Point. The only thing that would have made it better was if you had been at Sunset Lake instead of Town Hall. That lake is beautiful.

I would like to thank the fox 25 family for joining us out at Redrock in Lynn this friday, Everyone was very nice, it's great to see that everyone is the same off camera as they are on. Kim you're are right V.B. is like the big bully older brother,but hes very funny and nice. My dad said thanks for the get well wish and was very excited to get the autographed magnet from all of you thank you very much. When you come back next week maybe we'll see Q and Cindy. You guys are the best.

Thank you so much for visiting and spotlighting Lynn. I moved to downtown 3 years ago and I LOVE it here! You always hear so many negatives about the city, but it's a GREAT place to live with so much history, lots of great interesting people both young and old, and so much potential for a rebirth. Thank you Fox for giving us the chance to show others that we LOVE Lynn and that it is a really great city!

Thankyou so much for showing the positive side of Lynn. I love this city I bought a house on the same street I grow up on and my children go to the same schools I went to when all my siblings and many others have moved out of this wonderful place to live. I wouldn't trade it for the world. With you visiting hopefully people will see this city isn't as bad as they think and there are alot of wonderful people that live here. By the way thanks for putting my daughter in the anchor chair (English Cheerleader) PLEASE COME BACK

I enjoyed the z-trip to Lynn. My wife and I watch the show every day and laugh, laugh, laugh! We have traveled and watched the local Fox news shows all along the east coast and they are no match for you guys! You have a special chemistry and are hilarious while still reporting the news in a professioal manner. You are definitely "Lynn-worthy". Hope you come back to Lynn for another zip trip.

One of the best experience that happened to me this summer is seeing you guys in person. Thank you Kim, VB, Gene and Doug and to the rest of the Fox25 morning news crew for visiting Lynn.

FOX ROCKED LYNN! Thank you FOX 25 for coming to Lynn, MA! This is a wonderful City filled with down to earth friendly citizens who want to move this historic City forward! Everyone that I've met here is community-minded and wants the best for their family and business community. Our downtown has beautiful lofts and condos at affordable prices on the T to access Boston and we're right on the water! With over 2 miles of beaches to enjoy, and beautfiul Lynn Woods for amazing natural recreation and golf and one of the best diners in the state...You gotta love Lynn - it's a WIN!!!!

Thank you FOX 25 for giving Lynn the opportunity to show a side of itself that rarely gets portrayed by local media. Your Zip Trip visit gave a strong and vibrant part of the Lynn community a chance to share its fun, talented, and proud people. Well done, and again, thank you!

Oxford LOVED having you all at our ZIP TRIP! It was the best. I loved that cute little lady doing ZUMBA- there was so much energy all morning and the food was great!

Oxford LOVES Fox!
Thanks for coming!

GO OXFORD!

The Oxford (July 4th) Zip Trip showed Massachusetts the good will and warmth of our Community. From the Selectmen to the Oxford Community Center, to the Food Establishments who fed the crew so well, to the ZUMBA ladies and the children, OXFORD is the best place to live.

Thank you Fox for showcasing the best American town.

Thanks for stopping by Lynn, a great city so close to Boston. As a new resident in the downtown Lynn area, I'm amazed about how its full of such great infrastructure: beautiful parks, walkable to a stunning oceanfront, extensive public transportation options into Boston, and a short walk to an impressive public library, post office, store, shops and restaurants. I wish you showcased it ealier; hopefully now others can see what a great yet affordable community it is --a rarity with the convenience of being so close to the airport and Boston

I am a faithful Fox 25 Morning News Fan and a life long Lynner. So glad you could share the beauty of Lynn with your viewers and point out all our City has to offer. From Red Rock and the Lynn Beach area to Lynn Woods and High Rock Tower, our City is so rich in history and has many exciting places to visit. We are so pleased you could meet some of Lynn's finest kids, neighbors and business owners. Kudos to our State Rep Steve Walsh on the Zip Trip Trivia! Gene and VB, you both did a great job with the "Fluff' song! Kim, hope to see you biking along Lynnshore drive and would love to see you all back here on Friday. Go LYNN!

Oxford's July 4th Zip Trip was AWESOME...and what great community support which is apparent by the Zip Trip votes received considering we are a small town of 13, 000 compared to the City of Lynn which has about 80,000 people!! Way to go OXFORD!
