By Joe Durwin
 Pittsfield, MASS- An L.A. act with unique ties to the area will return for its 7th show here in five years at Chameleons Nightclub on Saturday.
The Dollyrots, who first played Berkshire County at Dalton's American Legion just prior to their break onto the national scene after being featured in a commercial for Lowe's, have perhaps spent more time playing in the area than any west coast pop music group in recent years.
The band enjoys an unusual relationship with the city of Pittsfield in particular. Following their second Berkshire appearance in early 2008 at the ITAM, the band's singer Kelly Ogden,

"There is a need in the treatment community, and Department of Public Health data shows that," said Kristin Nolan, Spectrum's director of outpatient services. "Local residents will no longer have to travel round trip as far away as Springfield and Holyoke on a daily basis to get treatment.

Town Players Shine in "Somewhere in Between" at Stage 2
| America's second oldest theatre troupe performed admirably over the weekend in their first offering of 2012, in Craig Posposil's "Somewhere in Between."
Joshua Carty is hilarious and believable as the anxiety ridden protagonist Jasper, whose awkward journey through New York social life forms the core of the story.

Jon Slocum also shines as a homeless man who encounters Jasper, in a poignant scene that at first seems out of place in the oddball comedy, but ultimately ties the story |

The mayor took the time to discuss these matters with me then and even before the appointment. So if he was willing to take the time to look at these issues and found that they were not an issue I am hopeful that the councilors will as well.
I will say that I was a little but not totally surprised that Jonathan Lothrup would do what he did that is how he operates. I would be more encouraged if this councilor took the time to see all the evidence and not just what was published I however |
