246 Main St., Route 2 Colonial Shopping Plaza Williamstown, MA Phone: (413) 458-2100 Desperados Fresh Mexican Grille is true to its name. Chef-owner Dave Atwell takes pride in the fact that he cooks everything fresh to order. Homemade salsa, sauces, guacamole, black beans as well as making his own chips. Signature "Smokin’ Fajitas" is a menu favorite - marinated steak or chicken served with grilled poblano pepper, red pepper, onion and potato with a side plate of rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese and warm flour tortillas. Atwell said he bought the restaurant from a good friend, Randy Ross, in 1998. "He trained me, showing me all the ins and outs of creating fresh Mexican cuisine,” says Atwell. Over the past several years, he has expanded the menu and incorporated of lot of his own ideas, like Drunken’ Shrimp (grilled plump shrimp soaked in top-shelf margarita, served over rice and topped with grilled veggies, cheese and fresh cilantro.) "We have all the popular classics - tacos, burritos, quesadilla, chimichangas, and wraps,” says Atwell. And he's got more: Dining out on your birthday?

District Meeting, Fire Station Open House on Tap in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A busy week for the town's Fire Department gets underway on Tuesday evening.
 
The annual Fire District elections and district meeting are scheduled for that night in the Williamstown Elementary School gymnasium.
 
The week will wrap up with a dedication and open house at the district's new fire station on Main Street.
 
Polls for the election are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. and will be closed at 7 to allow for returns to be counted prior to the start of the annual meeting at 7:30.
 
There are two positions on the ballot this spring: a three-year term on the Prudential Committee and a three-year term for moderator.
 
Incumbent Moderator Paul Harsch is the only person running for his position. Michael Noyes is the lone candidate for the Prudential Committee seat currently held by longtime member John Notsley.
 
The Prudential Committee, analogous to the Select Board at town hall, manages the fire service and supervises its one full-time employee, the fire chief.
