The Lowell Sun.
Lowell, Massachusetts is a historic city in the northern part of Massachusetts. I have lived there all my life up until now, being in Salem, MA (another city of history), for college. I always thought Lowell and Boston were the only places in the world. The Lowell Sun is something I remember seeing and reading a lot as a kid when my dad read it on Sundays, and then used the old newspapers for some fire starter. For my Communications class, we were required to look up our local paper, so I looked at the Lowell Sun. So, here is some history on The Sun.
