Today's paper came out and I was thrilled to see my extremely riveting and exciting article on parking meters grace the front page.
I met with the Mayor of Woburn on Tuesday to interview him on the town's relatively new "reverse 911" system. We chatted for about an hour during which I took pictures of him using the system. I'm currently writing the article for next week's issue.
My editor Kathie really likes an idea I came up with while roaming the streets of Woburn last week. I noticed that there were six Brazilian restaurant type stores all in a row on Main Street, which got me thinking alongside my immigration story that fell through... why is it that there is such a Brazilian influence in the town and more importantly, will Brazilians go back to their country seeing how its economy is doing well and ours is not.
I plan on speaking with the store owners as well as some other Brazilian workers in the area to get their thoughts on the matter.

Don't forget the U.S. Census - they'll have specific details on changes in the population and might have info on the Brazilian population in town.
I wonder if there's a local community organization .. sounds interesting. What did you think of the mayor?
