2+ hour, 16+ min ago (550+ words) Lowell was always there. When my family moved to greater Boston in 2012, we had to figure out a place to live. We visited a couple of places in Lowell, and were very interested in the Western Avenue Lofts. A woman named Maxine Farkas showed us around. It was a cool space, with cool people, and hard to forget although ultimately it wasn't the right fit for my wife's Boston-centric job. Maxine was just the first fascinating character I met on my inexorable journey to the Mill City. Fast forward many years later, and an opportunity to oversee The Sun and the Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise presented itself. The city of Kerouac, the city of Paul Tsongas, the city of Dicky Eklund and Micky Ward. Who could say no? I said yes to Lowell and so have a lot of other people....

6+ hour, 58+ min ago (178+ words) WORCESTER should have its own 'city parish council' when Worcestershire moves to a unitary'system of local government, it has been suggested. Worcester City Council is currently in charge of services including planning, bin collections and leisure centres. But those will also fall under the remit of either a county-wide or south Worcestershire unitary council from 2028. At a full council meeting this week, Cllr Adam Scott said a new lower-tier council for the city should be formed, as has been done in other areas that created unitary authorities. The council could take on non-statutory duties such as hosting events, landscaping and grant-giving, suggested Cllr Scott. "The fact the city will be without its own directly-elected council for the first time is something we should view with caution," he said. "It is within this council's gift to call for a governance review…...

6+ hour, 58+ min ago (211+ words) The adult reading group at The Hive will go weekly in December, as one of the most famous Christmas stories of all time is brought to life. Books Aloud usually meets on the last Wednesday of each month. A short story is chosen, read aloud to the group, and then discussed together. Amanda Bonnick, who runs the sessions, said: "Books Aloud is a place where you can bring a coffee, kick back, and just listen. "There's a chance to chat at the end of each session, so you can meet fellow story enthusiasts, or you can just let it sink in quietly." "We're really excited to be serialising A Christmas Carol throughout December, so we'll be meeting weekly and this will let the heartwarming, famous story permeate your Christmas preparations." Stephanie Jones, manager of The Hive, added: "Books Aloud is…...

9+ hour, 17+ min ago (392+ words) New York Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence has been around long enough to know that the NFL is, in his words, "a weird business" when it comes to the comings and goings of coaches. So when interim head coach Mike Kafka relieved defensive coordinator Shane Bowen of his duties earlier this week and replaced him with outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen, Lawrence admitted it was a "weird" situation. But it's business as usual for the Giants' defense, which hopes to better produce and finish out games, something that it wasn't able to do much of this year under Bowen's leadership." "He's been around the defense, so we've heard his voice, and he's talked," Lawrence said of having Bullen now leading the way. "Different seeing him up front, leading the whole group, but it's been a smooth transition, I guess you…...
