Hello neighbors--

 

Now that the major vacation period is over, we want to get back to a regular meeting. Ian and Candace have offered their house for our next meeting, which will be the kind with an agenda and some specific topics for discussion. These include (but are not limited to): Winter Hill in Motion changes, pedestrian safety (or lack thereof), upcoming Gilman Square block party, supporting Mystic Learning Center, shall we do another renter's event, can we set up a phone tree or some other neighborhood communication channel... Feel free to suggest other topics and we will add them to our list.

Join us Wednesday Sept 4, 7pm

54 Dartmouth St. #2.

[We'll provide some snacks and beverages. Folks can bring something to add to that if they want, but not necessary. --Ian]

The River Never Left Us: Let's Explore A Long-Buried Stream

Up until the late 1800s, a stream ran from Spring Hill to Union Square in Somerville. It never had a name, and there’s no record of when it was buried—and that speaks volumes about our civic ancestors’ views on nature.

Join me for a group exploration of where the river went; what it might’ve looked like; what lead to the decision to bury it; and what the long-term effects are of burying an urban waterway.  

Starting point: Center for Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville (in the first floor entrance way / hallway)

Date & time: Sat., Sept. 14, 11-12:30pm

Rain date & time: Sun., Sept. 15, 11-1230pm 

FREE!

This program is supported in part by the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. And special thanks to the Armory for letting us meet there!
