Keeping a Close Eye On The Harvard Allston Expansion
With the announcement of the construction slowdown of the science complex in Allston, some of us Allston residents realized that there may very well be a large hole in the ground for many more years to come.
Suddenly, we looked around and saw that there were many issues with the Harvard 50 year plan for Allston that the neighborhood needs to keep an eye on. For those that live in Allston / Brighton, or in Cambridge, or in Boston, we need to be more vigilant to prevent our town from becoming nothing more than empty buildings for the next 50 years.

Support local business next Saturday 4/18
Posted on April 10th, 2009 1 commentThe best way to revitalize our neighborhood is to have both a thriving residential and commercial community. Right now we have a pretty solid residential community, but the business community has suffered under the seemingly arbitrary plans of Harvard. Having said that there are still a number of new and growing business in Allston. Let’s all try to support them next Saturday (see repost below).
