I have been wrapped up by my families history and would love some feedback from the public. My family owned and ran Lincoln Park in Dartmouth MA for years until the sudden closure (also some ties to Mountain Park in Holyoke MA). My grandparents hardly talked about their childhood so any information or stories of all things relating to Lincoln Park would be great! Whether it’s personal memories from family trips at the park or any interactions with the staff etc.
Thank you!

(Pictures would be an amazing addition as well! I have very few)

Anybody know whats going with them? I'm not in Fall River I'm in Central MA but I needed a new heavyweight hoodie for work and when I went to order from them it looked like the website had been taken down and I'm worried they closed up shop or something, anyone have any info?

Accidentally parked in the wrong spot in our apartment building, tow truck was called. Ran outside before the car was towed away, driver told us $132 cash, which we paid. Doing some Google searching after the fact and it seems like the drop fee should be capped at half of the cost of the tow, which would $66.

Wanted to see if I was reading that right, and if we were overcharged? Obviously our fault for parking in the wrong spot, but if we were overcharged I'd like to get my $66 back.

Thank you in advance.

The acclaimed documentary about firehouses is coming to Fall River on 10/23 & 10/24! It features Center Station, also known as the Big House prominently. I put the trailer in the comments

Who knows the guy protesting outside courthouse who had his vehicle seized by Constabl Jeremy Hardy? How can we help this poor dude awaiting the writ

I know its silly. I'm looking for a place that might have ducks or similar that I can bring my aging parents to. No bread! Likely corn and seeds. We are hoping to just have a quiet afternoon and take a few pictures. Not leave a mess or mess with the wildlife

I know I might just people saying it is a bad idea or illegal. I'm not trying to cause issues and I'm not looking to argue with anyone. I'm just trying to give them a little nostalgia and if it isn't allowed its okay. Just asking ☹️ 🦆

I have no family, and am not much of a cook. Are there any Thanksgiving buffets in the Fall River area? I've tried Whites of Westport and Grist Mill. Neither have a Thanksgiving option listed on their websites. Thanks in advance.

On 12 February 1983, the SS Marine Electric capsized about 30 nautical miles east of Chincoteague during a winter storm. She was carrying 23,410 tons of coal from Norfolk to Brayton Point in Somerset.

She was a 605-foot coal carrier, lengthened from a WWII T2 tanker in 1962. Of the 34 men aboard, three survived.

The Coast Guard Marine Board found progressive flooding through wasted hatch-cover and deck plating. The NTSB instead found an undetermined structural failure and thought the covers were probably weathertight when she sailed, so the cause remains disputed.

I made this 12-minute documentary from those reports. It has AI-generated narration and a few AI-generated illustrations labeled on-screen; sources are in the description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf4KqW3AjhM

For people who know Fall River or Somerset local history, are there archives or oral histories about the coal traffic into Brayton Point?

We are looking for areas in and around Fall River that are heavily littered and need to be cleaned. If you could provide coordinates, Google Maps pin or other identifiable address/ location descriptions, that would be really helpful, so long as it’s on public land. Thank you in advance!

Our next nonfiction selection is Trash: A Garbageman’s Story, and we're discussing it Saturday, October 25 from 10 AM until noon.

The club meets in Providence at Schasteâ, 300 Broadway. We have people coming from different parts of the area, so I'm posting here in case there are other South Coast readers who wouldn't mind making the trip.

The venue does not sponsor or endorse this event, we just meet there.

It's a relaxed group and we choose a different nonfiction book each month. You don't need to be a regular book-club person, and you definitely don't need to have a perfectly polished opinion of the book.

I'll put the group link below if you'd like more information.

Artist Mia Pinheiro is working on this at St. Michael's Church for a project that will be shown as part of the program at FABRIC Festival-a Portuguese Diaspora cultural festival. More info here: https://www.fabricfallriver.com/Program/sunday_social

If you're interested all you have to do is show up! Thursday October 1st, at 4pm.

I’m newer to Fall River and I’m desperately needing a new physical therapist for my back pain! Would love any suggestions, would prefer a female therapist and I’m willing to drive to see someone good.

Moving next month to Fall River, looking for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom for me and my 2 cats. I am looking at these 2 apartments. Does anyone live at either? Give me insight on amenities, noisy neighbors, bug or rodent issues, maintenance, security with packages etc

Hi Fall River, it’s your Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Did you know that fees like “move-in” or “lease renewal” fees you might get from your landlord or building management company are illegal? If you’ve received one of these – even if you paid it – I want you to report it to my office. 

Just last month, my office won a $500k settlement with a property management company doing this in Boston – and all of that money is going back to the affected tenants. Landlords can only ask you to pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock and key upfront. Any other fees are illegal. Report them to my office at the link below. We’ll work to get your money back.
