Zippity Do Dog is for sale again as owners cite health issues

Just six months after taking ownership of the popular Framingham hot dog stand Zippity Do Dog , owners Alan and Paponake MacIntosh are looking for a new buyer, citing health reasons. The MacIntoshes took over the beloved hot dog stand parked at 160 Speen St. in May and have since revamped the menu with new ingredients and items while continuing the nearly 20 year old business. They purchased the stand from former owner Roland Houle, who stepped away from the business after seven years to pursue a new career opportunity. In a social media post on Nov. 4, the MacIntoshes announced that they made the decision to sell Zippity Do Dog and find a new owner to continue the business. "Due to recent health complications, we have been forced to make the incredibly difficult decision to sell Zippity Do Dog," the post read. "It is a special part of the community with a wonderful history and loyal customers who have made every day worthwhile." The MacIntoshes own Doragon Eatery in Ashland, which they are also looking to sell. Alan MacIntosh told the Daily News that they have not identified a potential buyer for the restaurant and said it could be

Fall River family keeps alive Portuguese tradition of canary breeding

Brian Cabral's lifelong passion for canaries began when a childhood landlord introduced him to the birds. He was about 10 when the owner of his family's Fall River apartment building showed him the canaries he kept. Cabral's father also became involved, and what began as a childhood hobby eventually grew into breeding birds for competition. About 35 years later, Cabral is helping preserve a hobby with deep roots in the Portuguese community as show manager of the Southeastern Massachusetts Canary Club 's 45th annual Canary Show. The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Liberal Club , 20 Star St., Fall River, bringing together breeders, exhibitors, judges and visitors for a tradition that Cabral says is smaller than it once was locally but remains very much alive. "It's still around, which is good," Cabral said. International conference at UMass: Can studying history prevent a return to fascism?
