Historical Tidbit:
Route 28/Bedford Street
In Bridgewater, the Work Projects Administration assisted in the construction of the Great Hill water tower and the paving of Bedford Street.
While Bedford Street was laid out in the very early 1800's as part of a turnpike from New Bedford to Weymouth, it remained a "seasonal" road for many years. In the spring, Bedford Street was impassable because of the mud, as it passed though the low areas near the river.
When Rt. 28 was originally laid out by the state, from Boston to Chatham and through Bridgewater, it came down Summer Street. The trolley line to Middleboro went down South Street.

Fight Climate Change & Live Better by Eating Locally Sourced Foods!
Local Foods Are Fresher and Taste Better:
Fresher is more flavorful and more nutritious than food from farther away & uses less fossil fuels to get to you. Enjoying foods in peak season when they are the most abundant, means they are more affordable.
Local Foods Help to Preserve Farmland and Green Space: Purchasing locally grown helps maintain and preserve the green space and farmland in our local communities, providing for cleaner air and water.
Local Foods Support the Local Economy & Community: Buying from local farmers and restaurants keeps your money close to home. This builds the economy in your community. Since food travels through fewer hands, more of your money spent actually gets to those who grew it. Knowing where your food is from unites you to those who grew and raised it. A strong local economy is better for the earth & our health.
Our Climate Can-Do Articles from Jacquie focus on life changes that we can make which will help mitigate the environmental changes of our climate emergency. Our goal is to keep the Earth's temperature from rising 1.5 degrees C to lessen the sea rise. There are things we can do.
