Do you frequent one of our local car washes in Berkshire County? If so, how often do you use a local carwash? The one in the video is the West Housatonic St. West Pittsfield carwash.

I know we are coming out of the holidays, with that being said. I noticed that about half of the trash containers in Pittsfield were overflowing and had trash bags stacked on top. (Proper protocal states the lid must be closed) I also noticed a lot of trash and trash bags remaining on the ground after the truck came through. Maybe it's because of the holidays, but it definitely appears to me that the 48 gal is too small for many households. Just my opinion, I'm curious what the experience has been like for you.

I just decided to turn on the camera and see what noise came out. Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all the best in 2025.

This was taken at Pontoosuc Lake today. It is not safe to be out on the ice right now at any of our local lakes and ponds. Luckily there were no injuries with this incident. Not a good day for the 2023 Chevy truck. Listen to the Pittsfield Fire Dept. and stay off the ice, it's not safe at this time.

My opinion on the Berkshire Carousel:
Give the Berkshire Carousel to MillTown. They could put it at Bousquet, if they would be interested. That would be a perfect spot and it would offer something else for kids and adults to enjoy. Not to mention they have the resources to upkeep it.
I personally think MillTown would be the best steward for the Carousel if it is to stay local. I do not believe the Carousel would succeed as a city run project.

My Aunt Aileen at age 14 posed for Norman Rockwell for this Saturday Evening Post Thanksgiving Edition during WW2. When Norman knocked on my grandmother's door and asked if he could paint a picture of her daughter, my grandmother thought he was some kind of weirdo and told him to get lost. He explained who he was and why he wanted to paint a picture of her, it took a little bit before she believed him, but it ended up being a great experience and Norman gifted my Aunt the original painting when it was finished. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Today is definitely a day to enjoy family and friends, to look out for our neighbors, and to be grateful for what we have.

My early morning walks are my favorite part of my day. It’s a chance to meditate, to pray, and to feel close to God and creation. I often wonder what all the animals think about us crazy humans. Does it make them sad to see all the destruction we cause, how we fight and struggle for power and control over the earth. The fact that humans can’t live peacefully with each other, they must know if their numbers increase too much we will label them a pest or a threat and kill them too.

Still talking about Bump-outs, and a lot of people have messaged me about the Pittsfield Public Schools adding a 3rd Superintendent position.

Still talking about Bump-outs, and a lot of people have messaged me about the Pittsfield Public Schools adding a 3rd Superintendent position. #westernmassachusetts #berkshirecounty #bumpout #pittsfieldma

The new bump-out at the intersection of South St. (RT7) and West Housatonic St. (RT20)in Pittsfield appears to be completed with the right turn lane removed. This was done to prevent trucks from hitting the building and encourage trucks to use the truck route, which is West St. to Center St. and then to West Housatonic St.(RT20). #westernmassachusetts #berkshirecounty #downtownpittsfield #trucking #bumpout

CAUTION: GOOSE CROSSING. The Pittsfield/Richmond line at Barker/Swamp Rd. This is a very popular spot for goose crossings until they are able to fly in a few more weeks. It's also a popular fishing spot with a lot of people there everyday. Please use caution when traveling through this area. #pittsfield #theberkshires #westernmassachusetts #richmondma #canadageese
