Mayoral forum at Parkshore
About fifty or so residents of the waterfront condominium community attended a forum for the six major mayoral candidates on Thursday at the Parkshore building.

Only problem is wondering who will get laid off in order pay for those bottles of Veuve). And the Times should celebrate and we, as its local readers, should be proud of the newspaper. Think of all the major awards given out…the Oscars, the Grammys, the Tonys, etc. Then think of all…
