10:56AM / Wednesday, July 30, 2014 | |
 Everyone has their own favorite and usually it's the town they grew up in or live in, or at least I hope many can feel that way about where they live.

 The Public Safety Building Study Committee expressed some frustration that its efforts to determine the suitability of the so-called Lehovec property have so far come to naught. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The town's Public Safety Building Study Committee is still interested in the Main Street parcel owned by the estate of Kurt Lehovec.
