OPINION: “THIS is why New Bedford has a bad reputation! DO BETTER!”

“I’m 23. I live on my own pay all my own bills. I work 5-6 days a week to afford things like this. I just spent 1 1/2 hours yesterday washing and waxing my beautiful truck. I don’t bother anyone. I go to work, eat dinner then go to the gym.

I don’t start trouble with anyone in the area to avoid things like this happening to me. This happened in broad daylight between 7-9:00am Saturday morning on Phillips Ave.

THIS IS WHY NEW BEDFORD HAS A BAD REPUTATION. New Bedford, do better.

Don’t inconvenience innocent people that did nothing to you to deserve this.”-Rj Thorpe.
