WORCESTER — When Mark J. Ruffo watched his plumbing supply company get swallowed by flames in the fall of 2019, he couldn't help but think of what his old coach Angelo T. Papas told him years earlier.
"My football coach always said, 'I can tell a good football player by a guy who gets knocked down, but he gets back up,'" Ruffo said. "It doesn't matter if you get knocked down. You got to get back up."
Ruffo, who graduated from Worcester Boys' Trade High School in 1972, has been the owner of K&N Plumbing and Heating, and the building that houses the business, at 159 Water St., for 46 years.
Quite a lot has been going on:

Before moving to Charlotte, she styled athletes and entertainers while owning another women's clothing store called Elle Mari in Atlanta, Georgia.

If the new ArtWellesley group is successful, the art it has worked with local property owners and the town to place in empty storefronts won't be there too long.
The hope is that the former Talbots and Dunkin' Donuts spaces, and others in Wellesley Square and across town, will soon be filled with new businesses.
But until then, you can get outside and enjoy the town's temporary outdoor art gallery, and visit the businesses that are open.
