Everybody needs a summer break even the energetic worker bees at Radio Boston. The show will be back in September with a brand new series of programs about the great mix of people and politics, innovative ideas and downtown realities that make up life here in Boston and beyond.
Mayor Lisa Wong inherited a big job when she won Fitchburg’s mayoral election last year. An old mill town with closed factories, a crime problem and a record number of foreclosures are just some of her worries.
The 28-year old Wong has a plan and Radio Boston heads to Fitchburg to find out what it is.
