Downtown Blackwell was buzzing last week as the city’s first-ever Boo Bash took over the 200 block of West Blackwell Avenue — and the turnout was nothing short of spooktacular.
The Halloween block party, organized by the newly energized Blackwell Chamber of Commerce, was the first major event under the Chamber’s refreshed leadership and renewed community vision. The result? A frightfully fun success.

We’re only two episodes into HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry, and it’s already clear this show is a very different beast from what anyone expected.
