Another new report has come out concerning the most and least segregated cities in regards to Latinos (the last report was concerning blacks). This new report, culled from the latest census records, lists Fall River as #2 on a top ten list of most segregated cities for Latinos. Overal Most Segregated (Averaging ranks for all…
On the heels of my post on police officers advising a fellow cop not to move to Fall River because it is a “Ghetto,” came this report culled from census records that gives Fall River the distinction to be one of the least segregated cities for blacks in the United States. Now what does that…
I found a question posted on a site called Officer.com from a man who was thinking of relocating to the east coast and wondered about living in Fall River. The responses he got from contributors on the site’s forum was surprising to say the least. Officer.com seems to be a catch all site for law…

MondoLizzie is referenced here (thanks Lefty!) as are other sites connected to Fall River. I like to read about Fall River, even if there isn’t a Lizzie…

She is a member of the Dairyland Dolls (Hurt in a Shirt) from Madison, Wisconsin. I think she rather favors the acquitted axe murderess, don’t you? Is…
Bad Sue Quilts goes back to 1997. One of the earliest squares created was a Bad Sue/Lizzie Borden theme, quite well done I think!
