North Adams installed its two Christmas trees at each end of Main Street on Wednesday under beautiful blue skies. The Monument Square tree was donated by Edna & Frank Aulisio of East Orchard Terrace, Adams, in memory of Lucy & Richard Banas and Andrew Banas.

Donna Danis and her husband, Paul,  of Demond Avenue gave the city a 25-foot tree for Christmas back in 1973. This year, Donna offered up that tree's replacement, a nearly 40-footer, again to the city in honor of her husband, a retired city police officer who died in 2006.

The annual treelighting will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 23, from 6 to 9.

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.
