This week's Fitchburg Pride

Here's what is coming up in this week's Fitchburg Pride:

--The North Central Charter Essential School has had a rough go of it over the last year, but officials expect to earn a charter renewal from the state Department of Education this month and are optimistic they can turn the school around.

--Officials and residents are working toward making the city a "No Place for Hate" community, with three events being planned for this year.

--The median single-family home price in the city was stagnant in 2006 from 2005. Local experts say it's a buyers market for the first time in a decade.

--A look at the Putnam Street Lanes, the oldest bowling alley in America, but one with a few new tricks up its sleeve.

--Tons more in schools, seniors, Fitchburg State College, Team Fitchburg and more.
