Nazzaro Community Center Offers Much to do
Many activities for seniors have been developed at the Nazzaro Community Center programming.
Seniors can now enjoy many things to do while attending the Center that are interesting, fun, hands-on and educational.
Staff have put together a monthly schedule that will hopefully attract seniors to the Center.
Commercial Wharf Bill Warrants Support
A very important hearing will be held at the State House relating to legislation filed by Representative Aaron Michlewitz involving Waterfront residents’ homes.
The bill would preserve the 40-year-old grandfathered uses of Commercial Wharf, allowing unit owners to remain in their homes while preserving a residential area.
Residents need to band together and support their neighborhood and friends by attending the hearing scheduled for October 29 at the State House in force to move the measure along in a positive manner.
Hopefully, a large turnout attends the hearing.
Fall Festival a Nice Seasonal Touch

Columbus Park Ranks 5th in Blog Survey
Hoodline, a local blog about events around the City, decided to determine which of the 217 City of Boston Public Parks ranked in the top five in the category of best spots to venture.
Christopher Columbus Park ranked 5th in the survey that used Yela data as well as other information provided by other sources.
The park finished behind the Boston Common, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Pond and the Esplanade. Not bad company.
Friends of the park and the Boston Parks Department along with many volunteers work overtime to make the park the popular designation it has become.
