Articles you may have missed because of our recent bad weather

Even though power was knocked out through most of Charlestown and South County during Nemo, Progressive Charlestown kept running new articles.

Part of it was due to the magic of being able to set up articles to run in advance.

Just to make sure you haven't missed articles on popular topics, here's a quick re-cap of some of the articles that ran over the past week (click on the links to read the articles):




  • Charlestown has a new Town Administrator. And he's not a Furby.

Of course, there's a whole lot more...the usual array of political commentary, environmental news, health items, cartoons and snark.
