Walking tour
Posted by nathanael. Filed Under tourism | Leave a Comment
AVMS is starting to put together a walking tour of Allston. If you have suggestions it sounds like they’d like to hear from you. For instance, who wouldn’t want to walk by the curiously out of place millstone in the Burger King parking lot? If you prefer not to actually make the effort to move your body you can do their virtual tour which is completely different from google streetview in some sort of way.

That’s ambitious for a Sunday. Allston Village Street Fair, today, right now, details here. Bacchus King (above) closes it out on the main stage.

Main Streets cleanup Saturday
Posted by nathanael. Filed Under meetings | Leave a Comment
This Saturday, AVMS and superfriends will be out doing the beautification thing. Provided we’ve not all been washed away by hurricane danny-boy.
The public is invited to join Allston Village Main Streets for a fall neighborhood cleanup on light poles, kiosks and utility boxes. Work will also include trash removal, painting and some graffiti removal. Twenty-five students from Wentworth Institute of Technology will be leading the charge. The cleanup takes place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29 (come any time).
Participants should meet at the AVMS Office, 161 Harvard Ave., Suite 11. Ring the buzzer for Suite 11 at the door.
In semi-related news,
In order to assist law enforcement officials in eliminating the unsightly and illegal activity of graffiti in Allston, the Allston Board of Trade is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the defacing of private property.
