Why This New Bedford Restaurant Has Money Pinned to the Ceiling
You walk into the popular West End Grill on Rockdale Avenue in New Bedford, order an amazing breakfast or lunch, and notice money stuck to the ceiling. Sometimes it has written on it the name and the date the people were there; other times with personal messages written across the bill.
Some bars and eateries that feature this never take their currency down, but at the West End Grill, the money is taken down every year, and for a good cause. When my son was born, he had open heart surgery, said West End Grill manager Michelle Eugenio. When we first started the ceiling fundraiser, we had a sign that read, Give me a Buck and Try Your Luck. She said the idea came from a friend who saw it elsewhere.

The former site of a New Bedford institution will soon have a new occupant that is the culmination of two local women s lifelong dream to open their own restaurant.
Krave Restaurant is going to give new life to a local landmark, said Boramy Green, who along with Kerrie Gomes is the co-owner of New Bedford s newest home for bona fide Asian fusion cuisine.
These enterprising local women are rescuing the iconic Chuck s China Inn on Acushnet Avenue with a re-awakening that dovetails with the new beginnings they see all over the city. New Bedford is up and coming again, and we re going to be a part of that turn for the better, Gomes said. She moved away for a few years, only to return with a new appreciation for the place she grew up in. Just look at all the redevelopment going on and happening places coming on the scene, like Cisco Brewery. Krave is going to be part of that rising spirit.

It s human to make mistakes. To admit those mistakes shows you have the ability to learn, and are growing wiser. You take that, and then make the needed adjustments for the next time, and that s called learning from experience.
A caller into WBSM this morning complained he couldn t find handicapped parking at the Whaling City Festival. They always had about 10 spaces for handicapped parking starting at the corner of Rockdale and Court. But not this year! the caller stated. I walk with a cane, and I looked everywhere, up and down, but couldn t find a place to park.
Shortly afterwards, Mike Sylvia, President of the Whaling City Festival, called in to address the complaint. He said the special permit asking for permission to set up the handicapped parking never made it to the city officials, and it should have been on me to follow up on that, and I apologize to that caller. We did have handicapped parking closer to the warming house, though.
