Are you turning your kids into 'sugar junkies' one spoonful at a time? If your kids are eating an average serving of a typical sugary breakfast cereal, they're eating more than 10 pounds of sugar a year!

The Shawmut Diner has now moved from its former location on Shawmut Avenue in New Bedford, and is now at the Dartmouth House Of Corrections.

Some states, including Massachusetts, are reporting a rise in heroin use and deaths. Locally, heroin deaths have increased because as many addicts shift from more costly and harder-to-get prescription opiates to this cheaper alternative.

A Fluffernutter is a local classic! One of the perks of owning a neighborhood diner was getting bizarre requests for uncommon sandwiches that tasted astonishingly delicious!

Although filled Easter Eggs and chocolate bunnies will be a sweet treat for us and the kids, they can be life-threatening to our pets!

It's kind of bittersweet. For the last 33 years, Phil and Celeste Paleologos have been a part of the Southcoast area and New Bedford, feeding us in the morning, on the weekends, and even select nights on Fridays and Saturdays. It'll be weird not seeing the Shawmut Diner around. It closes for good today.

The Shawmut Diner has been around for a long time. I went there as a teenager when I worked at Hot Wheels. I would ride my bike there during the summer to grab a hamburger.

In the Paleologos household, pet ownership has had a huge impact on us! During their growing years, our kids have had dogs, cats, exotic birds, fish, turtles and the list goes on! Presently, we have and love Buddy, our silky haired Yorkie.

New Bedford's Shawmut Diner is moving. Owners Phil and Celeste Paleologos have announced the sale of the property at 943 Shawmut Avenue to Cumberland Farms.

After 32 years, Phil and Celeste Paleologos have decided to hang up the apron.
