Little Month, Little State: WBOB's Best of February

The team at 990WBOB for more than ten years has been keeping New England informed on community issues, news, sports, and everything in between. While it’s no secret that February is the shortest month, WBOB came alive and made the best use of the 28 days. It was a tall order to live up to January's success, but even with less days, we gave it our all.

Here are the most popular WBOB articles of February (based on the amount of Facebook likes):
