The Valley Advocate has a new web page, along with blogs. I’ll be writing one of them, called “This Side of Mount Tom.” Mount Tom is a ridge that runs between Holyoke and Easthampton that divides what we think of as the upper Pioneer Valley from Springfield and its suburbs. I anticipate that I’ll be writing a lot about the upcoming election for the next few weeks, from a Western Massachusetts perspective. I invite BMGers to drop by.
Please share widely!
Spent two hours one afternoon trying to figure out how to get to the top of Mount Tom, and never did find it. Glad your blog’s easier to find.
I don’t know if I’ve ever been to the “top” of Mount Tom, either. I’ve been up on the ridge, but not to the actual summit. One of these days, I’d like to traverse it from Rte. 141 into the state reservation, or visa versa.
