I was on the front page of the Herald News<\/em> today. I was wearing my Lizzie Borden Live!<\/a> tee shirt, as I do when the show is about to play somewhere nearby (it is being performed Friday and Saturday nights in Fall River this week), and had my Lizzie Borden B&B ball cap on. It is my favorite hat. Great color and well made. I didn’t mean to be all decked out in Lizzie garb. I didn’t begin the day planning to be front page news.<\/p>\n

I met with Herald News reporter Michael Holtzman and photographer Jack Foley at Father Travassos Park, in the Flint. <\/p>\n

I had asked the mayor about the paving of part of the park at a public neighborhood town hall he had a few days ago, and found out that there was, perhaps, more to the story. <\/p>\n

One of my passions, besides Lizzie Borden, is preservation. Fall River has a nasty habit of demolishing historic buildings, mills, schools, and structures—at the drop of a hat it seems.<\/p>\n

So part of my life is spent speaking up for buildings that have no advocate, to protest the loss of green spaces, in this case the green space of a public park. <\/p>\n

I post this here because it is about Fall River. Tangentially, it has a Lizzie twist. Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n
