The news that Ma s Donuts would re-open sent waves of joy through the Greater New Bedford community. The gleeful squeals of donut-heads filled the air when word got out that Ma s would relaunch on this past Sunday, February 21, but alas, it was another Ma s Donuts in another community in another state.
But chins up New Bedfordites, for our Ma s Donuts is coming back, too. We don t know when that will be just yet, but it s coming back.
Ma s Donuts was a staple at 1972 Acushnet Avenue for as far back as I can remember. As a kid, trips to Brooklawn Park always included a walk across the street to Ma s Donuts. The stroll from Storyland past the big airplane and by the Ricketson House to the Avenue and Ma s Donuts was as exciting as anything any kid could imagine. Many Sunday morning mass was topped off with a Ma s donut and a coffee.
