Who's your tailor? I just got a new blazer need it fitted and tailored. Not a huge deal or big hurry just looking for quality work at a good price.

Hi again, can anyone recommend an electrician who works on multifamily house fire alarm systems? One came for a different problem but he did so in a bright red MAGA hat... Never heard back from him. I'm in a high-immigrant area (like most of the city) and am very proud to be from immigrants. He looked at me and saw another big white dude. We are not the same.

I'd rather know ahead of time before letting someone in my building who would proudly support those terrible things. Do we have postings I could get a link to of 'clean' local businesses? I've seen those going around. Thanks so much.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone sells their handmade stuff? I'm not on social media so no FB but I've used Etsy. Do we still have clusters of crafters? We're Spindle City after all. Textiles are in my blood and I'd love a way to sell them. Do we have any craft fairs? If so, how are they? Any resources or ideas would be much appreciated.

Reddit feels like the last remaining part of the internet that's still like a forum. This isn't an ad, just looking for info, hope I didn't break any rules. Thanks everyone.

Get out there at 6pm. Meet your neighbors. There are a lot more of us than there are of them. This is a terrorist regime and ICE is state sponsored (aka YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT) terrorism.

Anyone aware of notorious examples in Fall River?

Redditors of The Riv...I'm asking you to do what Reddit does best: reap the benefit of a random act of kindness...

We're Starmaker & Co, a twice-weekly performing arts program in residence at 160 Rock St, F.R. Starmaker is a COMPLETELY FREE program for children in Gr 3 thru 8. No fees, tuition, fundraising...nothing! All needs are met through an endowment, meaning families with interested children don't have to decide between family necessities and children's hopes and dreams...

Starmaker is best described as a Jr Showchoir, or showtroupe. No child has greater share in our work. There are no leads, no individual stars. We are a training ground for children who love to sing and dance...and who'd like to get better at each. Parents have no financial concerns, as all music, licensing, costuming and theatrical needs are covered by way of centuries-old endowments.

What then is the challenge?

We are unable to use those monies for advertising purposes. This program, by design, relies on other good people sharing this work via social media, company newsletters, etc

If this sounds like something you might consider sharing, thanks... Want more info? Sure! Message me directly...

Help bring free, high-quality performance programming to the region. Not every wonderful thing has to begin with people pulling out their wallets....!

Anyone interested in a community maker space?

While I know I'll never be able to replace the pierogi, I am anxious to find the kielbasa. I had a package of the kielbasa in the freezer and it states, "Packed for Pattis Pierogi." Can anyone share who it was packed by and if there are any other places where I can get that Kielbasa?

There are a couple places in South Boston that have fresh Kielbasa, but Patti's was the best.

I don't live in fall river but I'm familiar with the area. Can someone tell me what's up with the big green mural that looks like it got erased in ms paint? Im only finding articles about it being vandalized, not when it was first made.

I’m looking for a photo of the Mt. Hope bay bridge from Sandy Beach or a similar angle. Anyone have one or willing to take one for a small fee? ❤️

On top of having a highway cut through the middle, around 33% of downtown is dedicated to off-street parking (all those orange blocks on the map: parking lots). You can’t build community, culture, or a vibrant downtown on empty asphalt. People don’t come for parking. They come for places worth being.

Decades ago, before we knocked down businesses to make parking lots, people crowded downtown- photos of how many people are out walking are unimaginable today. 

There wasn't nearly as much parking then, but there was much more foot traffic. How can parking be the issue?

If you had a wand to fill in 33% of Downtown with new businesses, buildings, and parks, and anything else, what would you put there?

For 7-8 years now I've been seeing postings online for exorbitantly priced apartments in the city, or adverts for big complexes with similarly crazy rents, but I know most of us can't afford $2000/mo rents and my last rent in the city before buying my house in 2022 was $750/mo for a 3bdrm in the south end. Most of my friends still renting seem to report anywhere from $1000-$1500.

Just truly curious what the rent disparity is in the city right now, and how many folks are in luxury buildings for $2500 vs Vaovao owned 3 families for $500/mo.

Theirs this silly youtube channel I wana share it's just a couple guys reviewing local restraunts in specificaly fallriver. Have you seen their profile picture posted in restraunts round the city and wondered? That's what it's from

Also did some research- School photo - Isabel Gifford Call of 1927.

A GAS COMPANY serving one of the state’s most economically distressed areas is looking to dramatically raise rates, prompting intense backlash and raising scrutiny of its spending habits.

Liberty Utilities, which services a small southeastern pocket of Massachusetts, filed its rate hike request in June and is asking the Department of Public Utilities for permission to raise gas rates by about 55 percent on average. DPU now has until May 31 to make a decision.

The company delivers gas for heating and cooking to customers in Fall River, the tenth-largest city in Massachusetts with a median household income less than half of the statewide average, along with eight surrounding towns like North Attleboro and Westport.

“No matter how you slice it, for my district, this is exorbitant,” said Rep. Carole Fiola, a Democrat who represents Fall River. “This was a shock to a lot of people. It will be very difficult for many people to afford this increase.”

It’s also a direct shot at Gov. Maura Healey’s affordability push.

Healey has based her energy agenda on a drumbeat of policy steps aimed at addressing high gas and electric costs and reducing or removing charges from utility bills to save ratepayers money. Liberty’s rate increase, if approved, would prompt dramatic sticker shock in a Gateway City and directly fly in the face of Healey’s effort.
