An Excellent Opportunity!
We forget that the Greater Newburyport Area and in particular points west and east of the city really put the ‘England’ into New England. Aside from the funny pronunciations of our cities and towns; the area is a tribute to the English … Continue reading
We need more volunteers!

Battle Won, War Continues

Sophisticated Politics

Overall our city has been blessed.
I would love to see the city do the right thing on so many fronts but I have to remind myself that our city has been very lucky. Lucky to have a bevy of concerned citizens. There are a lot … Continue reading
Getting your money’s worth
