Police Arrest Two in Break-in

By Jen ThomasPrint Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS - Several police agencies aided in the apprehension of two men in relation to a breaking and entering on Saturday night. Two Pownal, Vt., men were arrested after police received a report of one or more persons stealing parts behind Mohawk Auto Sales on Curran Highway at about 7:30 p.m. Clarksburg police and a K-9 unit from Lanesborough aided in the search. State police said they were asked to search the North Adams Plaza, but it was unclear if that was related to the alleged breaking and entering. Bradley Armstrong, 18, and Mark Lennon, 24, are facing charges of breaking and entering in the nighttime for a felony and possession of burglary tools. Armstrong is also facing Class D drug possession (marijuana pipe) charges. In an unrelated incident, police also arrested James Joseph, 49, for allegedly threatening customers at McDonald's with a knife at about 8 p.m. on Saturday. He is facing five charges of assault with a dangerous weapon. No further information about either case was available.

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.
