Black History Month

Stamp Series 2006

One of the oldest and largest institutions in America is the United States Post Office with hundreds of offices throughout our country.  What you may not know is that each location does it’s best to involve its self in their local community and perhaps none are better at it than the main branch office here on Commercial Street.  Recently Acting Postmaster Charles Williams commissioned a new display honoring the Black History Month series and here on 1NM we explore Black History Month by partnering with the USPS.

Spring in Brockton

Brockton is a city of about 100,000 people, has hundreds of non-profit & community groups, and on any given day there’s something going on in the City of Champions; however, sometimes it’s hard to find out what and when it’s all happening.  So here on One North Main we present “Four Things to do in Brockton in the Spring.”  2nd Annual Brockton Garden Club Show, 2nd Annual Brockton Beautiful Day, The Mayor's Youth Summit and The Taste of Metro South
