Representative Carole Fiola invited Fall River residents to join her
on July 7, 2014 for her first of three Walk and Talk events of the year at
Independence Park and the
boardwalk that runs along the Taunton River. "As a State
Representative you try to be accessible to everyone in your
district," she stated. "You know we do the coffee and
conversations, we do office hours, we go to the senior centers, but .
. the district that I serve has so many beautiful walking paths and
areas . . .today we start Walk and Talk with State Representative Carole
Fiola here at Bicentennial Park." The group walk approximately half a
mile to the new Cove
Restaurant currently in the last
stages of construction and slated to open by the end of July. General
Manager Elroy Lazaro welcomed the group into the facility for a preview of
its breathtaking views. Rep. Fiola described the other development
projects underway that will transform the waterfront over the next ten
years. The Representative met a number of people along the way, including
former City Councilor and Point Gloria resident Al Alves. She is planning
two additional walks, one around the
pond at Bristol Community College and one in the
Copicut Woods, both within her district. Click
