    "I see a lot of neighbors walking there dogs and they clean after there’s dogs and also they said hi sometime they stop and talk ."
  • Kendra M.
    "Well, unique is a diverse term. There's the good unique features then there's Fall River's unique features. I mean, I'm sure we would hold a record for how many potholes can fit on one road. Also, the people here like to be open and honest. You can take that as you will. I wouldn't give Fall River a negative review, but it's not really worth a positive one either... Sam's Meat Pies though."
