Join New Bedford's first coworking space.
Bike-sharing finally came to New Bedford this past month with the launching of Zagster, Inc.’s bike-sharing program in the city at Fort Taber Park and State Pier.

“The future is trash. Recycling it, re-arranging it. Making it beautiful again.― Chris Campanioni, Death of Art If that’s the case, then get ready to get really creative on Saturday, April 21st. That’s when the Earth Day Cleanup, organized by Groundwork Southcoast and Operation Clean Sweep, sponsored by Comcast, happens in New Bedford. You can…
Back in November, I took the SRTA 10 bus from downtown New Bedford to Fall River. Sometimes I just do these kind of things. I was prepared for the journey: Cash, credit cards, Charlie Card, MP3 player, and…passport. Because traveling to Fall River from New Bedford feels like going to another country. I wanted to…

I figured that gave me the month off, because, really, what’s to improve? But she had others ideas (and personal suggestions which she thankfully sent me via private message), so here’s…
