If you grew up in the area, you probably know where Mill Road in Dudley is. But do you know where Mill Lane in is? Michelle Lafleche noticed a bunch of new signs going up in town and found this one a little peculiar. It appears that Mill Road was mistakenly re-named Mill Lane this week by a new sign. John Marsi, chairman of the Dudley Board of Selectmen told THE LAKE 940, that the state is putting up new signs and also lighted stop signs on Route 31 and “they made a mistake with Mill Road and we will be talking to them tomorrow.” Expect the sign to be replaced at some point soon.

Call them crazy, crazy! On Friday, March 16th during the NCAA tournament, Little Caesars Pizza tweeted that if a number 16 seed men’s basketball team could beat a number 1 seed, they would give everyone in America free pizza!
