Two-Car Crash Closes Church Street

Staff ReportsPrint Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A collision between two vehicles shut down a section of Church Street on Wednesday afternoon, followed shortly afterward by a three-car accident near Specialty Minerals in Adams. 
 
The North Adams crash occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. when a GMC Denali pickup apparently collided with a Subaru Crosstrek attempting to exit from south driveway at Southview Cemetery. 
 
The truck incurred extensive front end damage and the Crosstrek damage on the front driver's side. Scanner reports initially referred to someone having a broken arm but no one was taken to the hospital. 
 
Church Street was closed between Drury High School's entrance and the skating rink for nearly an hour until tow trucks could take the vehicles away. Drivers either turned around or cut through Southview Cemetery and the skating rink parking lot. 
 
Traffic was also disrupted by the accident on the railroad tracks in Adams. No one was apparently injured in that collision either.

North Adams Clothing Store Moving to Larger Space

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Label Shopper is moving across the parking lot to the former Peebles location in April.
 
The discount clothing store has been located in the downtown's L-shaped mall downtown since 2009. It replaced Fashion Bug, which had been in that spot for 24 years before closing in 2007; the company liquidated in 2013. 
 
Label Shopper is part of Peter Harris Clothes, established in 1970 by Peter Elitzer. Starting as a single store in Latham, N.Y., offering brand-name apparel at discount prices, the company operates more than 70 stores throughout the Northeast and Midwest.
 
The store is set to close on April 6 for the move and reopen on April 9 in the former Gordmans, according to signage. 
 
Gordmans briefly replaced Peebles in the former Kmart until the parent company of the two brands declared bankruptcy and closed its stores in 2020. 
 
At 17,250 square feet, the Gordman's space is at least double the size of Label Shopper's current location.
