I have been down with the sinus bug for 10 days and boy was it good to feel like going to a restaurant this past weekend. Food actually tastes like something again. Okay, I know this is supposed to be all about Fall River, but I must tell you this place we are visiting tonight is [...]

So, while waiting for the red light to change at the corner of Pleasant and Plymouth Saturday, I had time to take in all the fast foodie joints along the way. The sea gulls must love Plymouth Ave. The top of the Avenue starts off with KFC, Boston Market, D’Angelos (no photo as a [...]
