About a week ago the signs disappeared.
The "Make Southbridge Home" campaign skulked quietly into oblivion like so many other schemes of the current town administration.
Announced with all the fanfare of a new street sweeper on the front page of the Southbridge Evening News of March 15, 2011, this was the bone thrown to Southbridge homeowners who wanted to follow the advice of our current council chair. You remember that immortal dictum where she told us that if we didn't like the way things were being done we could sell our homes and move.
Unfortunately, residents found that homes in Southbridge were selling as quickly as loofahs in a leper colony.
Like Mighty Mouse our Economic Development and Planning Office stepped in to save the day.
