Telling Pittsfield Stories

I‘m proud to have been asked by thepittsfielder  to share some of my favorite anecdotes from my times in downtown Pittsfield. Here is the text from the post on Instagram:

Introducing Pittsfield365’s week 4 storyteller, the one and only John Krol / @johnkrolshow

Pittsfield is my hometown, it’s in my blood. I’m raising my three boys here, my Mom and Dad are here, my sister, her husband and their three kids are here. It’s home. I’ve taken a little break in public service after five-terms on the city council and terms as VP, but I’m keeping a close eye on things.

Maybe this is noteworthy? When I started a Facebook Live show in Crawford Square on North Street, I am almost completely certain that it was the only live Facebook show in a downtown storefront. Someone ought to look that up. I do miss getting up early every morning and lighting up WTBR in the bowels of Taconic High School, which was my thing for about a dozen years. But, we saved the station and I’m proud to say that I had a big hand in making sure we built that new Taconic, which was long overdue in our city.
