NEW BEDFORD Many things define New Bedford’s history. Moviemaking may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it has been thriving here for nearly 100 years. Hollywood has made the SouthCoast a prime location since 1922. Seeing notable landmarks or familiar scenery on the big screen excites locals, but film companies also can boost tourism and local businesses.
“We hope to have an influx of visitors to the city that are movie buffs that want to visit the place that they saw in one of the films,” said former Director of Tourism, in New Bedford, Dagny Ashley.
“Movies attract tourists,” added Ashley, who recently left the position to head the tourism office in Quincy. “It provides a destination image and it also increases branding and helps with marketing a destination. It gives an overall economic impact for all the cities and towns and the state as a whole.”
Former special education teacher sues after she was fired over Facebook post about ‘supreme race’
Updated Feb 05, 2021;
A former Massachusetts special education teacher fired last summer for allegedly posting political and racist comments on social media is suing the city and her teachers’ union in federal court.
Former Kuss Middle School teacher Taryn Camara filed the lawsuit on Jan. 22 amid accusations that Fall River Superintendent Matthew Malone harassed and abused subordinate school staff, the Herald News reported.
Camara alleges the union breached its duty of fair representation and Fall River violated a collective bargaining agreement.
Camara’s attorney, Mark Gagliardi, argues that his client had a 22-year “unblemished career” and that the union gave no reason why it refused to represent Camara after she was fired.
