Save the Abbey Meeting

Abbey Grill, Fall River, MA

A meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 4, 2009, that will address the future of the Abbey Grille building.

This is from City Councillor Steve Camara: “I invite any of you who may be interested in the future of 100 Rock Street, The International Culinary Institute, to come to a Lower Highlands/Historic Downtown Neighborhood Association March meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2009, at 6:30PM at the Quequechan Club (across North Main Street from the Unitarian Society and the Greek Orthodox Church), 2nd floor, with optional “dutch treat” dinner at 7:30PM at the Q-Club dining room. RSVP if you plan to have dinner so I may alert Q-Club of the number of people planning to eat.”

This building was Lizzie Borden’s church at one time. To have it demolished for parking would be a very sad finish to this grand structure.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
