FALMOUTH Visitors and residents could soon grab a drink, bowl and throw axes at an establishment off Main Street.
The Falmouth Select Board approved, at its Monday meeting, a liquor license and a bowling alley license for an ax-throwing/bowling alley at 23 Town Hall Square, where the former Ryan’s Family Amusements was located before it closed in December 2020.
The facility, which is anticipated to open either late summer or early fall, will be called Timber. The existing bowling alley will be maintained and will also offer ax-throwing as well as food and drinks, said Kevin Klauer, an attorney representing the applicant, Town Hall Partners.
The Select Board approved the ban Monday night.
“With the water shortage and the drought that we’ve been having, we haven’t been getting a lot of rain recharge,” Director of Public Works Peter McConarty told the Select Board, which approved the ban Monday. “We’re trying to work with the public and the landscapers and the contractors to keep this going. Everybody has to pull on the same side of the rope so we’re all going in the same direction with this.”
Under the approved policy, odd-numbered houses will be allowed to water lawns on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Even-numbered houses can water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. All residents would need to avoid watering on Mondays.

It took some time for buses to catch on in Cincinnati, as track-bound streetcars ruled the roads into the 1920s. But many of Cincinnatiâs earliest buses were manufactured by the Greenfield Bus Body Company, the direct descendant of the C.R. Patterson & Sons Company, which had been founded by a man who escaped slavery.

Charles Richard (C.R.) Patterson was born in 1833 into slavery in Virginia. He escaped and made his way north, settling in Highland County, Ohio, located along one of the major thoroughfares of the Underground Railroad. His skills as a blacksmith landed employment at a local carriage company. He launched his own carriage works in 1865 through a partnership with a white investor, James P. Lowe, and the company did a lot of business in Cincinnati.
