This Week's Fitchburg Pride

What to look for in this week's Fitchburg Pride, which hits the streets tomorrow:

-- City officials are not embracing Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal that would allow the city to create a 2 percent meals tax.

-- There's a ton of cool things -- from FCS spoofs to Longsjo crashes and more -- on the Web that are Fitchburg related.

-- City leaders are already planning the summer and fall seasons for Riverfront Park, as they work on improving the park's exposure.

-- About 500 people pitch in to help raise $25,000 for the family of Ashley Campbell, a 4-year-old who is fighting Leukemia (and was featured in the Feb. 9 edition of the Pride).

-- News on sports, schools, Fitchburg State College and more.

The Pride is available at almost 150 locations around the city, and is still going pretty fast. Make sure to get your copy over the weekend.
