NORTH ADAMS – It’s fall, and people are beginning to think about winter crafts and holiday gifts. The North Adams Public Library Monday Handcrafts Circle and Thursday Knitting Circle will resume next week, Sept. 22 and 25 respectively, and welcome all to drop in whenever they can.
 
The Handcrafts Circle began as a knitting and crochet group several years ago, but recently expanded to include any needlecraft that is portable enough to bring to the library, such as needlepoint, counted cross-stitch, and Tamari Balls. The group gathers any time after 6 p.m. on Monday evenings in the library’s main parlor for conversation and craft working.

The Knitting Circle meets on Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. in the main parlor. This group focuses on knitting and crochet, sharing techniques and patterns as well as friendly conversation.
 
Both groups, which welcome drop-ins, wrap up the evening around 7:30 p.m. Both beginners and highly experienced craft people are invited to participate.

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.
