Hideous Lead Image

This was done unilaterally by an unknown user with no consultation with the talk page. This picture is absolutely terrible and in no way accurately reflects the city. It's an historic, densely populated city of 100,000, not a highway rest stop. I will change this soon. Trilobright (talk) 23:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cheryl Araujo (Big Dan's Bar) Rape Victim.

I was wondering why Cheryl's story is not mentioned anywhere on the New Bedford Wikipedia page. Her story was made into a media sensation and reported both within the US and internationally (Canada and as far away as Japan) in 1983-84 when she was raped and the trial that followed. While this situation did cast a negative light on the Portuguese community at the time it still deserves at least a mention on this page as Cheryl did grow up and live in New Bedford for the majority of her all to short life...? This case was also the inspiration for the 1986 motion film "The Accused" starring Jodie Foster, which she won her first Best Actress Oscar for.

Thanks for your time and thoughts on this matter...

Update on "Rail" section of "Transportation"

The MBTA South Coast Rail information is outdated, with the line being opened 2 days ago as of writing this.

Not yet at a level to produce worthy information to rewrite the section, but I would like someone to revise that section if possible for best current relevance, Thanks. Supervisory1223 (talk) 17:26, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
