Lilly Gaev: Punishing Main Street
02-07-2025 1:26 PM

Running errands downtown in the bleakness of last Friday’s rain really drove home to me both the potential flooding crisis from known-to-be insufficient storm pipe sizing; and the absurdity of thinking that our little town of already half-empty storefronts could economically survive the Picture Main Street project.

In his guest column Jan. 30 [“All-electric rule: Costlier homes, worse efficiency”], David Murphy poses several objections to Northampton’s fossil fuel-free construction ordinance.

The current leader encouraged violence to get his way. The current leader believes in spreading lies and hate. The current leader wants to take over other nations.

Nancy Flickinger: Shoveling law unenforced
02-05-2025 10:38 PM

I am a walker, every day on Crescent, Franklin and Elm streets. On Feb. 3, I counted eight sidewalks that had not been shoveled — and this is not the first time. When is the city going to enforce the ordinance to keep these walkways safe? Or, do I need to break a leg first?

02-04-2025 7:46 AM

By JOANNA BUONICONTI

As I write this, I am sitting at my desk working late into the night for the 20th or so consecutive night. Not because I’m a glamorous singer like Sabrina Carpenter, but because I’m trying to balance my new internship at a literary agency — where I sincerely hope to get hired someday — along with allocating time for my freelance editing responsibilities, for writing this column and for nursing issues sprinkled in. It’s safe to say that January has been a relatively hectic month.
