              What’s happening with radio in the Greylock region?

              Are we overserved, or underserved? Would collaboration among the operators be useful?

                    Be part of the Greylock Economy Working Group The Berkshires have always been a center of creativity. Until late in the 20th century, our region contributed literary, spiritual and industrial ideas to a growing nation—and attracted thousands of prosperous city dwellers, and aspiring immigrants, to build and work in factories.

                        By Charlotte Degen         The thick rotting smell of mud and seaweed at low tide, swarms of green-headed flies, and sea creatures with their own or borrowed shells or no shells—dominated my first impression of Cape Cod 45 years ago.
