No. 1 Story of the Year: Lavender and SPS Sagas

A look back at what made news in Sudbury in 2012.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Top 5 stories, which will run from Dec. 17-21, were based on total page views as of Dec. 10.) These two storylines began on May 22 and to this day are still causing stirs in the community. To say one weighed more on the town than the other could not be justified. Lavender began as a simple report from the Sudbury Police Department log where Lavender Asian Cuisine & Bar owner Tim Fong received a liquor license warning for hosting patrons after the allowed hours.

Empathy is hard to muster but the lies and defamation of character that you produce and the editor of the Sudbury Patch endorses by posting is indicative of the changes that need to will be made in the near future. For now, realize that my business has prospered over the 3 years I've been established because my clientele does not include the type …   more ›
