Wayland Town Crier 8/30/11: Rep. Conroy stops at Newton diner on statewide walking tour. Tom Conroy marched into Johnny’s Luncheonette in Newton Centre Monday afternoon in his black New Balance sneakers smiling as he finished up mile 623 of his 660-mile 60-day tour of the state designed to boost his bid for U.S. Senate. Conroy is one of the seven announced Democrats, including Newton Mayor Setti Warren, hoping to unseat U.S. Senator Scott Brown. He is finishing his “Town-to-Town Walk” – where he toured across the commonwealth by foot in an effort to engage with voters this weekend. Conroy, a state representative from Wayland, has been traveling to local diners, bakeries and coffee shops to chat with voters about their thoughts about the biggest problems facing the country.
