Intertidal: The vital Comprehensive Plan
Walking down Brunswick’s Maine Street past storefronts decorated with pumpkins and ghosts along newly completed sidewalks on a crisp fall evening as the sun was setting at an ever earlier hour, I thought about how much just that little piece of town has changed over a short period. And it’s just a tiny piece of […]

From the Chamber: In their own voices — meet the candidates
Kudos go out to The Times Record team for their diligent work in recent editions on getting the public aware of who the candidates are for local community races and State House seats as well.
