The Very Clever Mr. Brien

Joe Brien is one of those quietly creative souls who make Falls Village so special. Two years ago, a television crew from Home and Garden Television (HGTV) in Hollywood, CA, came to his studio on Point-of-Rocks Road to film him as he created a five-foot-tall polyfoam crocodile mask for the “That’s Clever!” craft program. (The producers discovered him on the internet.) For some mysterious reason, it took over two years for the episode to air, but you can see a six-minute clip here which features some sweet shots of downtown Falls Village.
