Perspectives
Here, I provide a variety of my thoughts and analyses as well as resources of general interest. There are two sections, one with items pertaining specifically to Maynard, Massachusetts, and the other for items of a more general interest.

11 July 2025 - I have just started a new account on Substack where I have already posted two pieces. I have done this to reach a wider audience and write more about topics and issues beyond my commitment to keep Town Wide Mall as largely a local news service. Here is the link in text if you wish to save it or send it to others: https://glennckoenig.substack.com/
If Substack asks you to "Subscribe" don't worry, you may have to start an account but you won't have to pay anything to read what I'm writing; I'm not doing this to make money, but more to get my word out about certain current issues.
