Quality of Life issues

We have been hearing some issues concerning 'quality of life' incidents in the ESNA neighborhood. These can include

- Drunk and Disorderly conduct
- Overnight vandalism to gardens & planters in front of homes & businesses
- Urination & vomit in doorways
- Excessive noise
- Speeding cars.

We encourage everyone to call 911 to report these problems. In Boston, 911 is our only link to the police, so do not feel guilty about calling 911 to report non emergencies. In fact, their first question will be "is this an emergency" and you can answer 'no'.

When you call 911 to report these types of crimes, they probably won't send someone out unless it's a slow night, but the call and address will get logged. The police do look at these logs and notice if trends or upswings in crime are happening, and make themselves more visible in the area. If you really don't want to make the police call, you can let us know via an email and we'll pass it on.

Help Clean Up Waltham

A group is getting together to help clean up the alley between Waltham and Union park. If you live on the Even side of Waltham and would like to join the cleanup team or help out, please let us know.

South End Open Studios

South End Open Studios will take place this year on the weekend of September 15th & 16th. For those new to the neighborhood, during Open Studios many local artists open up their homes and studios to share their art with the public. It's a fun weekend and a great way to visit part of our neighborhood that you don't usually see.

Early details can be found at http://www.useaboston.com/

In conjunction with Open Studios, Union park will be holding a "picnic in the park". Details in the image blow. All ESNA members are invited to attend and participate! Details shold also be available soon on their web page, http://www.upna.org
