Local Music

One thing I find really important is supporting local music, especially when that music is coming from a kid, or young adult. Toska is just one musician in the area, instead of taking drugs or drinking alcohol he is working on music. Toska is a hip hop artist, and personally not taking drugs or drinking is something I find quite special, finding teenagers that don't do drugs can sometimes be a rare thing. Those that have special talents should be shared with the community and those surrounding it.

Toska is releasing his next mix-tape, Futile Endeavors, on December 6th. Futile Endeavors can be found online and hard copies will be distributed at locations which he will tweet! To find those locations find him on twitter @ToxGoonWoof , so be on the lookout for that! 

My personal favorite song from this mix-tape is "Undead Dances" which he performed at the South Coast Talent Search this summer, put on by Fun 107 and WSAR, along with many other local sponsors. Which is just one way he is getting out in the community. 

Toska is also working on an EP along with Futile Endeavors. The EP is titled Survival and Other Vices and "Gadzooks!" Toska's most famous song will be on it, be on the lookout for that too!

Too often people knock down where they are from. Not just Fall River, everywhere.
When people only talk about the bad it's hard to forget about the good, and it doesn't help create a better environment.
AHA is just one positive thing about our city, Thursday, December 18th, is the next AHA night by the way! So many people get involved to do something for the city.
Fall River is also full of entrepreneurs. If you like businesses or not, you need them to supply jobs. I can name just a few examples but it does not stop there.
Carl's Collision Center on Bay Street in Fall River has at least 60 people working, for a small business that is a lot of people and really impacts the city in a positive way.
Just because a company does not have dozens of people working for them does not mean they aren't helping. Every little bit counts.
Spending money in Fall River helps the city as well if you use a local Pharmacy, or shop in local stores. Restaurants Fall River has plenty of, eating out in Fall River instead of leaving the city helps those companies thrive, and could eventually supply more jobs.
All negative talk does is attract negative behavior, and it is so much easier to knock something down than build it up. Do something positive, and get involved. Shop locally, donate to Fall River causes (if you can), but most importantly stop putting Fall River in a negative light. Even if you personally cannot find one thing you like, just stop talking about it, and that can help.

Holiday Time is Coming

We know, it's not even Thanksgiving. Although, there are many holiday events coming up!
