On the Role of a Sandwich in the Preservation of a Shrine

"It is likely that many from the south end of Fall River have attended a St. Anne's Church mass and tried the spindle city original known as the chow mein sandwich.

"But the group that organized to save and restore the nearly 113-year-old iconic piece of the city skyline never expected one to play a role with the other.

"St. Anne’s Shrine Preservation Society Vice President Bob Gauvin said when he and his friend Richard Alfonso first heard the Fall River Diocese was going to close the church, they were determined to find a way to save it." 

A recent WPRI-TV "Street Stories" segment reported on this initiative by the St. Anne's Shrine Preservation Society in Fall River, MA.
