As we head into the week, let’s take a look at the news from this past week.

Dorothy, Scarecrow and the entire cast got ready to take on the classic Broadway musical “The Wiz” this week on the Zeiterion stage as part of New Bedford Festival Theatre. Audience members will be taken on a magical journey through the beloved musical, which features a modern twist on the classic tale of “The Wizard of Oz.” You can get your tickets at https://nbfestivaltheatre.com.

In the days following the deadly March 28 fire at the Royal Crown Lodge rooming house at 1301-1307 Acushnet Ave., New Bedford Fire Chief Scott Kruger had told news outlets there were no open fire code violations on record for the site at the time of the blaze. It’s a statement that has been called into question since details, such as past complaints about the property, have come to light. But are implications that the city shirked its duty on fire code enforcement there valid? City records and an opinion from the Mass. Department of Fire Services would suggest they are not.
