Massachusetts drivers from the Berkshires to Boston can now take that much deserved road trip and save some "moolah, moolah moolah" on gas in the process. The good news is that prices at the pump are declining as we try to get below that dreaded 4 dollar per gallon moniker. This option can save you an additional 30 cents when filling up between now and Labor Day (September 5th) and that's a good thing if you ask me.

No one likes to have the title of the most boring city in any state. It would be a downer for any city to even show up on a list of the most boring cities in Massachusetts. But what about Pittsfield? Did we manage to avoid this list, or are we one of the most boring cities in the Bay State?

It's hard to believe, but it's that time of year again, back to school. Berkshire County is lucky to be home to some of the best schools in Massachusetts and three of them just received nationwide recognition. Each year U.S. News and World Reports reviews high schools across the country...

Volodymyr Zhukovskyy was found not guilty on seven counts of manslaughter in a crash that killed seven people more than three years ago on a New Hampshire road.

I've been working the morning shift in Berkshire County for over 10 years now. Driving from Pittsfield to Great Barrington at 3:30/4:00 am in the morning, I can say there are barely any other vehicles on the road. Many times there isn't a single vehicle on the road for quite a stretch. It is very tempting for me to just drive through a red light but I obviously respect the laws of the road. Let's be honest, if I were to do that, it would just be my luck and I would be nailed with a ticket, blemishes on my driving record, and plenty of headaches. Who needs that? I don't need to pay a fine on top of the expensive gas prices here in Massachusetts.

The unanimously adopted petition was brought forward by Ward 1 Councilor Kenny Warren, who said that Pittsfield has dragged its feet on bolstering mental health resources despite two residents being killed by police during mental health crises in 2017 and in March of this year. “Daniel Gillis was our wake-up...

We all love good restaurants! Of course, if you are someone traveling through Pittsfield or anywhere in the Berkshires, you're always going to want to find the best potential spot to grab a meal. Luckily, there is always Tripadvisor available to give you an idea of where to go. So...

A 16-year-old girl has been reported missing in the Berkshire County town of Alford, according to State Police.

Sharon Playhouse’s joyous production of the 1950 “Guys and Dolls,” one of the greatest American musicals of all time, opened last Friday, July 29 with the exuberance of a Broadway premier at a jam-packed Bobbie Olsen Theater. It’s the first full production staged in Sharon’s updated, old summer-stock barn since the pandemic, which gave the evening a special buzz. And the show’s score by Frank Loesser, one of the all-time great musical comedy composers and lyricists, is chockablock with some off the most popular songs that came from Broadway—delivered with vocal authority by a sparkling cast. But what really distinguishes Sharon Playhouse’s production is the tap choreography by director Justin Boccitto, who renders this Broadway classic into the non-stop, vivacious musical fable it was meant to endure as.

Justin Casey may be my best bud here in Berkshire County, although I may not be his 😂. So, what do ya do when you're envious of someone? Make fun of them!. Citing that Casey's stride is simply longer than mine being the reason for his faster and faster run times is simply not true. But, you know what is true? He's been training. HARD.

Berkshire County residents were recently treated to the Great Barrington Main Street Car Show (see over 100 photos below) which was hosted by the Great Barrington Fire Department on Aug. 4. It was very hot in the Berkshires that day but folks still came out to check out the classic cruisers up and down Main and Railroad Streets in Great Barrington especially around 5:30/6 pm when the evening started to cool down a bit. Though the Car Show took place on a hot day, the Great Barrington Fire Department was still pleased with the turnout as proceeds from the event went to the department's scholarship fund which benefits and supports local youth in the southern Berkshires.
