Fitchburg's NEWEST restaurant is The Pig in Flames at 96 Franklin Road in Parkhill Plaza. Alerted by my little birdies in DFN that today was their first full day open... we went there for lunch...and just WOW.
It is homestyle BBQ ---with juice drinks and smoothies!
The Pulled pork was incredible...so delicious and also crispy in the right places....get it with the coleslaw side and it is especially delicious.
Also got a steak and chicken skewer....they are huge and perfectly cooked...juicy.
They give you Compostable takeout containers and cutlery... which I love so much.
They also have sandwiches ready made to go in their cooler for a FAST lunch.
Hours are M-Th 11am-7pm and Fri/Sat 11am-3am

CRACKSealing! More preventative ROAD Maintenance being done in FitchburgMass.
Roadways throughout the city received preventative maintenance this past week in the form of crack cleaning and sealing.
By filling pavement cracks, water and debris is prevented from entering into the pavement and subbase, thereby extending the pavement life for about five to seven years. The work is being paid from the MassDOT Chapter 90 account.
Superior Sealcoating, Inc.has a $75,000 budget with 8000 gallons of sealant! They have completed approx 22% of the work so far and will continue to work throughout the city in the coming week.

💲 Attended this morning's BIG CHECK ceremony at McKay Arts Academy presented to Fitchburg for Fitchburg Public Schools by Senator Dean A. Tran!
$4,337,244 additional funding from the State of Massachusetts Chapter 70 to Fitchburg! MUCH needed.
I spoke with Superintendent Jokela and he noted that much of that was accounted for in their budget... but that there is an additional $1M or so they will be able to use for school infrastructure and other academic needs as determined by the School Committee that was in attendance as was the Mayor.
Always proud to attend our events and support Fitchburg representing the city as a City Councilor 👍
Chapter 70 Education Funding check presentation held at Mckay Arts Academy this morning!!
