NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - Black & white photographs by local artist and amateur photographer Marcel Donaj will be exhibited at the North Adams Public Library from January 15 through the end of February.
 
A graduate of Drury High School, Donaj has been interested in photography since being given an Instamatic camera at the age of 12. He credits his first influence to North Adams Transcript photographer Randy Trabold, who also worked with a 2 ¼” format film camera.
 
Donaj’s images are enhanced by his using vintage picture frames. Most of his images were developed in makeshift basement and closet darkrooms. Although still using emulsion films, he slowly is embracing the digital age.
 
The artist and his dog, Carrera, reside in Stamford, VT.
 
A open house “Meet the Artist” event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29 from 6 to 7:30.

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.
