After more than 40 years in business, Photo World will be closing its doors.
Photo World owner Barry Schrutt just celebrated 40 years in business, but his celebration soon came to an end when he was faced with the difficult decision to keep riding out the economy or close up shop for good. "I was physically getting ill and not sleeping because I just didn't know what to do. I was in total agony," Schrutt said, admitting that in the last 10 years he has seen a steady decline in business and was forced to pour his own money into Photo World to keep it running. "Deciding to close was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. Actually, telling my employee who I know relies on this job, was even harder." Schrutt says that there was once a time when he would come into work on a Monday and have dozens of rolls of film …

For Mother's Day, a get well gift or for a romantic gesture for that special someone, nothing says it like flowers. Patch readers choose their favorite places to pick up a floral arrangement. It's the classic romantic gesture ... showing up on her doorstep with a bouquet of her favorite flowers. But if you truly want to make an impression, no ordinary convenience store bouquet will do. You need an artistic arrangement from the people who know the trade best. So where do you go to find the best blooms? Patch wanted to help readers decide which florists create the best arrangements in town. We asked readers throughout the state which shop in their town is their favorite. After five days of voting, the winners are in. Check out which florists…

A Letter to the Editor from Bristol's Chuck Millard regarding the recent proposed tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge.

Governor Chafee and the DOT are about to drive a stake through the heart of the East Bay economy. Make no mistake about it if they succeed in setting up tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge potential visitors from South Eastern MA and Tiverton will change their shopping patterns. Impulse visits to our community will drop off precipitously. Tourists are not going to shell out $8.00 to have an ice cream at the Daily Scoop and stroll through our shops. They are not going to 'hop over to the Pot' for drinks or get a bite at Roberto's. Visitors from MA will not be able to buy the discounted transponders and will have to pay the full freight. Our museums will suffer. Who is going to pile their family in the car and come to Bristol for a hike …

The center currently services more than 75 clients and provides a safe and friendly atmosphere to work, learn and socialize.
While many locals would be surprised to hear that the James L Maher Center has a branch in Bristol, the news is nothing new. The building nestled at the end of Roger Williams University's back entrance still buzzes with life as it has for more than 30 years. "Many people have no idea that we even have a location in Bristol, one that is actually pretty active," said Dennis DeMarinis Jr., Director of Development and Communications. The James L Maher Center has been in Bristol since the early 80s. It is a not-for-profit extension of the center on Aquidneck Island dedicated to providing various daily services to more than 75 individuals with developmental disabilities. Some of the individuals who work with the Maher center participate in work …
