My (former) City in Detail-Fall River, MA.

Fall River, MA, the city I lived in from August 2003-May 2010, is full of historic and beautiful locations, as are the surrounding areas. Older photos are at the top. Please note, any information I have listed for these photos was correct AT THE TIME I SHOT THE PHOTO, but may have changed since.
