Miss Lizzie's Coffee says owner Joe Pereira has died

FALL RIVER — The operators of Miss Lizzie’s Coffee announced on Monday, Nov. 9, that owner Joe Pereira has died. “Please bear with us during this difficult time. We will be open for limited hours for the next few days while we make arrangements,” the café announced on its Facebook page. The café had initially announced Sunday it would be closed for a “family emergency.” Pereira’s café, which initially opened in 2023 on Second Street next to the Lizzie Borden House, moved in late June to 100 Rock St., the former Central Congregational Church — the church Lizzie Borden’s family attended. Since its opening, the coffee shop’s connection to the Lizzie Borden story has attracted customers from across the United States and several countries. Historic connection: Miss Lizzie's Coffee has big plans to be a cultural center Pereira's coffee shop made national news Pereira and the café had attracted controversy since its opening; after U.S. Ghost Adventures sued in federal court for trademark infringement in 2023, the feud between the two Lizzie-related attractions made headlines nationally.

What really happens to those bags of leaves after RI picks them up?

Have you ever wondered what happens to your lawn bags after they're picked up? Where do the grass clippings you empty from your lawnmower each summer and the leaves you rake every fall end up? It all ends up being turned into nutrient-rich compost that's reused to enrich gardens, sports fields and farms. But Rhode Island's cities and towns make that happen in different ways. A little over half of the 57,000 tons of yard waste collected by municipalities in the last fiscal year was handled on a local basis, according to data from the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. , the quasi-public agency that manages trash and recycling for the state. The rest ended up at Resource Recovery's composting facility next to the Central Landfill in Johnston . In the last fiscal year, Resource Recovery took in about 25,000 tons of leaves, grass and brush collected by communities. All the material that ends up there is fed into a giant grinder that chews it into a uniform size. It also mixes it together to get the right blend of plant-nourishing nutrients from carbon-rich leaves and high-nitrogen grass. All of it comes out the other side on a conveyor belt.

Centuries-old loot linked to ‘King of the Pirates’ discovered — with a shocking NYC connection

A newly unearthed treasure trove of pirate history has now been found to have New York roots. A peaceful Rhode Island fruit orchard was secretly hiding a centuries-old piece of history — until amateur treasure hunter James Bailey unexpectedly struck gold. Bailey isn’t a professional historian, but he has an uncanny knack for unearthing the past. Sweeping his metal detector across the dirt, he picked up a signal that led to a rare coin tied to a famous New Yorker — and a legendary pirate. The artifact turned out to be a 17th-century Arabian coin once pocketed by English pirate Captain Henry Every, who famously escaped to the American colonies after pulling off a brutal high-seas heist in the Red Sea. James Bailey discovered a centuries-old coin thought to be loot from the “King of the Pirates.” The Trustees of the British Museum Bailey told the Associated Press he was stunned when he dug out the dime-sized silver coin stamped with Arabic lettering. He believes it was minted in Yemen in 1693 before Captain Every carried it across the Atlantic. The bizarre and hilarious chaos on cruise ships exposed — including pirates, pot, and polar bears Every cemented his status
