Congratulations to the Town of Plymouth for organizing the very successful soft re-opening of Stephens Field on Friday, Aug. 2. My young friends and I heard screams of delight as we approached the park from Union Street shortly after noon. The newly paved road and sidewalk made it easy for us to roll our wagon […]

Plymouth is a tourist town that capitalizes on stories of the Pilgrims and Native Americans, and how the two groups came together for the first Thanksgiving dinner. During the summer and Thanksgiving parade, tourists flood the town to see the sites and learn the Plymouth origin stories. While many of the stories are heavily fictionalized, […]

I’m an actor and performance artist. I just relocated to Plymouth about a year ago. I perform Shakespeare, spoken word, scenes from movies, and rap with no swears. I perform on the streets of Plymouth on Water Street. I loved your article. The motorcycles are ridiculously offensive. I use a mic with a speaker and […]

In support of [the] article about excessive noise from motorcycles and other vehicles, it seems likely that the loud noise is the result of modified exhaust systems intended to create loud, obnoxious sound. Are not such modifications a violation of RMV regulations? If so, the offending motor vehicles should be impounded until repaired. – Paul […]

Great commentary [on motorcycle noise]. Thank you. Our home sits on Long Pond Road, just south of Clark [Road], Manomet. Long Pond Road in summer is a draw for mobs of motorcycle riders passing our home. These groups are so large as to need minutes to pass! This augments the chronic and escalating problem of […]

The Community Preservation Committee has recommended that Town Meeting approve the purchase of the site of the former Full Sail [bar] for the sum of $665,000 and approve the expenditure of another $220,000 to then demolish the dilapidated structure and construct improvements on the then vacant land. There are apparently twin rationales for this proposal: […]

I read with disappointment that another bright, savvy, assertive woman is leaving Plymouth. Birgitta Kuehn’s move to Chicago is a big loss for our town.   While she often rubbed some people the wrong way, she kept those in the seats of authority and power on their toes.  She was never afraid of speaking out. I […]

As concerns the [“We Have Questions”] article entitled “I Had a Vision of What Plymouth Could Be”: The buildings (The Armory, Mount Pleasant School, etc.) that have been renovated by [Rick] Vayo, et al, are beautiful. I love that they remain in keeping with the historical architecture of their neighborhoods. That said, the decision to […]

Kudos to Plymouth Planning Board member Birgitta Kuehn for standing up to behemoth Makepeace as it plays its dirty tricks to try to add another 113 market-priced homes to the Redbrook housing development. As a Carver resident living in a manufactured home park that abuts one of Makepeace’s many sand mining operations, I’ve seen how […]

Will Plymouth to finally say no to A.D. Makepeace Company? Makepeace cloaks itself in cranberries while most of its profits are from mining sand on its 12,000 acres of land. Makepeace claims this mining is cranberry farming. The sand is a globally rare commodity used for concrete, asphalt, and consumer products. Makepeace clear-cuts forests and […]
