Top 8 Stories

by at 9:16 am.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. Back to blogging after spending time with family and friends.

In addition to the end of the year review, many media outlets are reviewing the past decade with their top stories. So, here are the top Lowell stories from my perspective:

1. 2009 Municipal Election; four incumbents (two City Councilors; 1 School Committee and 1 Greater Lowell School Committee) lose their seats.

2. Tsongas Arena is transferred to the University

3. Hamilton Canal groundbreaking takes place

4. Downturn in economy causes City to reduce work force

5. Former School Committeewoman Regina Faticanti’s legal issues

6. Former City Councilor Alan Kazanjian’s business dealings with the City are subpoenaed

7. The University purchases downtown hotel

8. Target opens

    Of course all of those are from the last couple of years!

    You missed two major ones:

    - John Cox ousted by city council
    and
    - LeftinLowell.com launches in May 2005. :)

  2. Right In Lowell Says:

    What about Kaz and Reggie being ousted? I see he jumped right in as expected with a bid on the towing contract.

  3. Pat Vondal Says:

    Here’s another! Two new councillors elected to city council…..
    Regina is not reelected, is on probation and directed not to go near School Committee Building and School Superintendent!

    The Lowell Sun (yesterday) had a brief article about towing contract. Bernie Lynch to make decisions around the 15th of January.

    What about the return of Elliot’s Hot Dogs? :-b
