Resident asks for TM support on acceptance of Historical Way

Dear Editor: My wife and I purchased a home on Historical Way in the spring of 2010. We have enjoyed all that Canton has to offer, especially how welcomed we have been made to feel by our neighbors. We were astonished when we found out more recently that our street was not an accepted street […]

Electrical union responds to MAC’s criticisms

On January 19, […]

Note to Residents: Please Stop Littering
