Abandoned factory in Scituate

Hope Mill in Scituate was originally a cotton textile factory. The first wooden mill was built in 1806. After it burned in 1844, Brown & Ives replaced it with the large stone mill. Later occupants manufactured lace and elastic fabrics; textile production continued until 2007.

Bike crash 9/30 435 Park Ave Cranston at 3:10pm - ish

Hey there, a friend of mine was involved in a pretty serious bike crash yesterday near 435 Park Ave in Cranston (near the corner of Strathcona Rd). He was riding solo at the time and lost consciousness, and right now he has limited memory of the incident.

We’re trying to determine what happened. If anyone witnessed the incident or has doorbell, security, or dashcam footage from the area, particularly from around the time of the crash, we would be very grateful if you reached out. Thanks!
