These 7 Fall River, Massachusetts Portuguese Bakeries Still Pull Malassadas or Sweet Bread From the Oven Every Morning

One bakery on this list unlocks its door at 4:30 in the morning. That’s before most coffee makers in Massachusetts have even clicked on. I love that detail because it tells you who these ovens are really for. They serve early shift workers, Sunday regulars, and anyone who knows that sweet bread tastes best before the sun is fully up.

Brewhouse District sold. New owner to 'keep it growing' with same menu

Changes have been brewing at one downtown Fall River eatery. Owners Nick and Ashley Ozug announced Friday, Nov. 6, that they have sold The Brewhouse District , the 139 S. Main St. restaurant and café they’ve run the past three years. “This was not an easy decision, but it was one made with the utmost priority in mind: our family,” reads a Facebook statement from the Fall River couple and parents of four young children, who’ve stepped away from one of their two downtown businesses in order to have a better “work-home life” balance. The Ozugs first opened Brewhouse District in late 2023, bringing new life to the former Java House Chew and Brew space in the historic Cherry & Webb building across from the Fall River Justice Center. After spending three “short and long years, depending on how you look at it” building up the Brewhouse, Nick Ozug said they now have the ability to focus their energy solely on their latest restaurant venture. While South Main will no longer be home base for the Ozugs, the pair still remain a familiar face in the city’s downtown as owners of the nearby Mexican restaurant Tequila Lime Cantina at 197

Black bear sighting in Abington prompts safety alert

The Abington Police Department is advising residents to exercise caution after a black bear was sighted nearby. "The bear was observed earlier tonight in a tree by a Massachusetts State Police Air Wing unit operating in the area," the department said in a Nov. 3 Facebook post. "Abington Animal Control and the Massachusetts Environmental Police have been notified of the sighting." The bear was in the area of Mulberry Drive and Ames Nowell State Park, according to the department. "While black bears generally avoid human interaction, residents are encouraged to remain alert and take appropriate precautions." Is it black bear season? Yes, bear season is ongoing for black bears, as activity may pick up while they prepare for the winter months. "To prepare for the winter, black bears enter a phase called hyperphagia, which is when an animal greatly increases their daily food and calorie intake to build up their fat reserves," the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife said in an Oct. 15 Facebook post. "To put it simply, black bears get the munchies! Bears will rely on these fat reserves when they den for about 5 months this winter where they won’t eat, drink, or even go to
