NORTH ADAMS — This summer, starting in mid-July, Northern Berkshire Neighbors, a program of the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, will start its fourth season of Neighborhood Baseball. The goal of Neighborhood baseball is to encourage community spirit, teamwork, and participation with less emphasis on competition. The teams are made up of youth, both boys and girls ages 8-16, who live in a particular neighborhood or community. 

Most of our youth have not had previous experience with organized sports. Neighborhood Baseball often provides them with their first experience and has been a springboard for youth to join regular organized sports. Overall the program builds confidence and teaches cooperation and is loads of fun for everyone. In the past years, the group has included teams from neighborhoods in North Adams and also a team from the town of Florida.

If there is a team from another neighborhood or community in Northern Berkshire that would be interested in participating in Neighborhood baseball from about July 20th – August 20th, Please contact Kathy Keeser to discuss how this could work. Kathy will be out of town from June 30th until July 10th. But, please leave her a message if you want more information on Neighborhood Baseball by contacting her at the coalition, 413-663-7588, ext. 13 or email: kkeeser@nbccoalition.org.

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
 
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license. 
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar. 
 
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant. 
 
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee. 
 
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
