Wasn't born there, but I grew up in Springfield, and absolutely loved learning more about Ms. Carter this morning, and her connection to #WMass. She does magnificent work. #Respect

Friday was a big day.
The first MA Dept of #HigherEd
Regional Hub for civic discourse met in #WMASS to organize ourselves and plan for the future.
We celebrated with cake (from The Latest Kraez, a woman-owned bakery in Longmeadow).

Friendly advice to edit this piece. This is not accurate:
"There are currently four Francesca’s locations in Massachusetts, according to the company website, in Natick, Burlington, Braintree and Wrentham"
Aside from 2 stores in #WMass (Holyoke, Longmeadow), there are others, looks like 10 in total.

Looking for a book? I finished North Woods yesterday afternoon. I might have started it a week ago and I had to finish it. Truly captivating. Mason's fictional natural and human histories of #WMass was moving and even humorous at time.

I'm happy to share the following press release we've sent to our local media:

Massachusetts Archivists Discover Shays’ Rebellion Documents 
Among Hampshire Sheriff’s Office Records

Find Represents Oldest County Jail Records in the Commonwealth

 Arrest records of the “Conspirators in Shays Rebellion,” an armed uprising in 1786 -1787 in western Massachusetts over the newly independent nation’s monetary system, have been discovered stored in a  warehouse at the Hampshire Sheriff’s Office (HSO) on Rocky Hill Road.

 In late- September, Jeremy Berry-Cahn and Joseph Solis, processing archivists with the Massachusetts Archives, discovered the documents while reviewing old records that had been brought to the Rocky Hill Road location 40 years ago when the jail and house of correction moved from its previous location on Union Street near downtown Northampton.

 The documents are pages from the “Register of Prisoners” and depict the arrest records of 35 members of the Rebellion who were jailed for taking up arms against the state, treason and sedition. The men held at the jail, then located on Pleasant Street in Northampton, include Luke Day of West Springfield, recognized as one of the leaders of Shays’ Rebellion. 

 According to Samuel Edwards, reference archivist at the Massachusetts Archives:

  “In 1780s Western Massachusetts, unrest was brewing for several years after the Revolutionary War. The newly independent nation struggled to develop a monetary system, and issued more paper money than could be redeemed for coins, which were in short supply. Coastal merchants, storekeepers and tax collectors insisted on coin payments, which many agrarian farmers in Massachusetts

Thanks for the repost! I was so glad the students were so inspired by what they had experienced at #SNFIthacaUD that they wanted to share it with peers and do even more.
All of #MApoli esp in #WMass will be hearing from these leaders.

It is fascinating to hear about this kind of partnership. I remain curious about our continued prioritization of personal vehicles over buses and other rapid transit options.
