Happy to report that we’ve tripled the number of block parties in Cambridge this year after making it significantly easier to host them. 🍕🚸⚽️🎈 – at Cambridge, MA
Turns out if you offer Cambridge residents cash to throw a block party, they’ll take you up on it. trib.al/Lnzvfd0

Last night, Somerville’s Anti-Displacement Task Force held our first meeting to start creating our Rent Stabilization home rule petition.

i am a strong believer that the best way to have an actual conversation with someone is to take a walk
Research shows that it can be less stressful to talk to someone when you’re walking side by side, with minimal eye contact, than conversing face to face. Here are some tips to get the most out of your strolling chats. nyti.ms/3MZmLBR

Highly recommend neighbors on other streets banning together to create the street and community of their dreams. It really was amazing & now we definitely feel like a tighter group. Here is @cambma application form cambridgema.gov/IWantTo/Appl… Remember they offer Play street toys too
Cottage Street’s FIVE-DAY block party raised the bar. Neighbors reimagined what a street could be - a place for community and play.

The Winter Hill Community Innovation School will be closed while structural engineers conduct a more thorough review of the building, after a piece of concrete fell onto a stairwell inside the school. masslive.com/news/2023/06/fa…

Today there was an emergency closure of the Winter Hill School because the building has been deemed unsafe after concrete fell through the ceiling where students often line up. This was not a surprise or unexpected. The building has been in a state of disrepair for years.

Cottage Street Block Party in the making! Impressive artwork by @ashley_snight and lots of neighbors helping. Go check it out! And join the rest of the activities through the weekend.
Incredible seeing Cottage Street come to life in so many different ways during this five-day block party!
