With little warning that the state would lift COVID-19 restrictions, local veterans opted to remember its war dead in solemn, but dignified fashion on Monday, May 31.

Wicked Local On a warm day in the spring of 1621, English settlers at the new Plymouth Colony were scurrying about their village – such as it was, given that they only a few houses had been built – simply trying to survive.

The average time for counting the herring is estimated to take approximately ten minutes per day, which is expected to make t...

Offseason or not, Plymouth has always been one of my favorite places to go and take a waterfront walk. Theres always something going on, no matter the season, and, whether its summer or winter, the views are lovely. We hopped in the car on a recent cold-ish but sunny day, to go and get some refreshing winter air. One of the conveniences of Plymouth is also how easy it is to get there. I always just take 44 from Middleboro (the rotary now being the trickiest part; I miss the single lanes). Plug ...
