Happy Spring everyone,
Hopefully you won't be seduced by our warm weather and be able to attend our monthly business meeting this week on Wednesday April 7th. We'll be at our usual location at the Boston Ballet's 5th floor board room
Meeting format:
6:30-7 - neighborhood networking. Informal get together - meet your neighbors and catch up on all the good gossip
7-8:30 - Business meeting.
This month's agenda includes:
- Owner of 43 Dwight street. Planned balcony on rear and roof deck. Seeks vote of support from neighborhood.
- Owners of The Wholy Grain, who are looking to open a bakery/deli at 275A Shawmut (corner of Hanson). They are seeking a vote of support from the neighborhood, but I've yet to confirm the technical details (not sure if they've got a city rejection letter and need NA support, or if they'd like a general support letter). Complete details will be available at the meeting, but if you're an abutter or know an abutter, make sure they're at the meeting.
- On a similar business note, Pops restaurant will be here for an informal neighborhood gathering. Many restaurant issues came up at their previous meeting concerning noise, rear of building situation and issues with the sidewalk front. There is a new manager at Pops and they have taken immediate steps to address many of the issues as presented. There is no vote - they will be presenting some of the changes they have instituted, and want to continue a dialog with the neighborhood. Again, abutters are encouraged to attend. While western abutters from UPNA have been invited to come in the past, Pops has already attended an UPNA meeting covering the same topic, so I'm hoping they have had a chance to have this discussion at their meeting, and that this meeting will include more Eight Streets members.
We've got a full meeting, and I hope all of you can make it. Tell your neighbors and bring a friend - help the NA grow!
- John Mc
