A funeral home and three adjacent commercial buildings will have a date with the wrecking ball under plans for a new two-story, 25,848-square-foot retail building at the edge of Maverick Square.
Last Thursday, Mayor Martin Walsh stood in Central Square in East Boston, the site of an ongoing $7.8 million renovation by the city, and released his $2.08 billion five-year capital budget plan.
Just a few weeks after beginning his duties as executive director of East Boston Main Streets, Max Gruner said he is already beginning to feel a personal connection to the neighborhood.
Mission Hill Main Streets (MHMS) is moving to a new location at 812 Huntington Ave.
A long-vacant block in East Boston’s Maverick Square that most recently housed a funeral home could soon be reincarnated into a restaurant, retail and fitness complex.
Mayor Martin Walsh joined with the Department of Neighborhood Development to honor Boston Main Streets volunteers and businesses during the 20th Annual Boston Main Streets Awards.
When he learned that the community space on Brighton Avenue run by POP Allston and managed by Allston Village Main Streets was interested in adding performances, Trip Venturella jumped at the chance.
A Medal of Honor monument, new street signage, bike-share stations, and improvements to parks are just some of the enhancements on the way for Allston-Brighton residents, thanks to Boston College.
Boston College and the city of Boston recently gave neighborhood grants totaling almost $450,000 to Allston-Brighton, providing funding for future enhancement projects.
Allston’s new community space has an open skatepark, a yoga studio, a vintage market, and much more.
Promoting culture, community and creativity, Do617 and Allston Village Main Streets hosted an outdoor public festival Monday to celebrate Allston Christmas.
