I am a Stang '68 from Fall River. Vid is great stuff. Nice '63 Impala, great color. Just finished book called "Fall River Dreams"; mostly about Durfee basketball, but a lot of insights about Fall River that only someone that lived there would understand.
It amazes me how people are talking about cars and who was where and no one says anything about how GORGEOUS this building was!!!!! Tragic, tragic....make me want to cry. Stupid people in the 60's.....they didn't know any better....very sad. The building there now is a tragedy.
I wish I had be alive back then... would had led a revolution to get 195 rerouted to avoid destroying Fall River's beauty.. we got a mayor removed, Im sure we could had pulled this off somehow lol
THE CITY SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT THE ORIGINAL CITY HALL WELL ENOUGH ALONE IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE A PIECE OF LOCAL HISTORY THIS ISNT THE ONLY STUPID THING THIS CITY HAS DONE THOUGH ALOT OF DUMBE ASS MISTAKES FALL RIVER HAS A HISTORY OF THE LISTS GOE'S ON NEED I SAY MORE??

this God forsaken 195 project turned a once beautiful city ugly as sin... I wish I had been around back then to fight against it
Agreed. That Brutalist-Stalinist monstrosity of a city hall has the best view of Fall River..because you cannot see city hall from there.
I attended Bishop Stang nursery school, just a few blocks away..right next door to the Borden house. The nuns were kind, but ran a tight shift.
FALL RIVER SHOULD BUILD A REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL CITY HALL AND NOTRE DAME TO AT LEAST SALVAGE WHAT HISTORICAL PORTIONS THIS CITY HAS LEFT IF ANY .

Bet Ernie Fleming played in that one (and Stang lost)
