Concord Steam, the company that has generated steam heat in the state’s capitol city for eight decades, shut down Wednesday at midnight due to financial and technical issues. I had a look back at its tumultuous history in the Sunday Monitor (you can read it here) and our columnist Ray Duckler went to the actual shutdown last night and will have a report in Friday editions of the Monitor, which is why you can’t read it in this Thursday newsletter.
The photo above is from that event, which included champagne.
