Some bugs that make an appearance in the summer months like lady bugs, dragon flies, and butterfies are welcomed in Massachusetts and add to the states natural beauty, Unfortunately, misquitos, flies,

A MAJOR change to a station known for it's stability....Or Is It?

It looks like I'm gonna have to get back on the scratch ticket bandwagon. There's a lot of winning in the beautiful Berkshires, and I'm seriously missing out!!!

There are some instances in Massachusetts when you can leave your job and still receive unemployment benefits.

Massachusetts is famous for many things. Its place in American history, its iconic sports teams, and even that terrible accent, which only a small amount of us have by the way. Besides the obvious notable traits, Massachusetts also has quite the culinary scene...
