Tewksbury Year in Review: Best of the Blogs

Looking back at the most popular blogs on Tewksbury Patch through the second half of 2013.


It may not come as a surprise to Tewksbury residents to hear that the proposed slots casino dominated the Tewksbury Patch blogs in the second half of 2013. 

Taking a look back at our top blog posts through the second half of the year, slots were an issue that folks wanted to write about, read and respond to. 

Other top blogs in 2013 included one about the 10th anniversary celebration at a Tewksbury restaurant, Tewksbury Boys Basketball League updates and our newest blog, Tewksbury High Hockey Talk.

Tewksbury Patch wants to thank everyone who submitted a blog in 2013, and without further ado, let's take a look at the most popular blog posts from July through December.
