  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.

  • PEABODY SQUARE Ashmont
    The Clock in PEABODY SQUARE Ashmont On the occasion of the Welcome Home Ceremony, May 31, 2003, for the newly restored Monument Clock in Peabody Square, Dorchester Foreword The celebration of the re-installation of the Peabody Square Clock offers an opportunity to reflect on Dorchester’s history. Through the story of the clock — how it came to be here, how the park in which it stands was created, how it was manufactured, how it has stood for decades telling the hours as Dorchester life con- tinues — we can see the story of our communi- ty. The clock, like many features of the urban landscape that have stood for many years, has become a part of the place in which we live. A sense of place, our place, helps to ground our thoughts, to provide a starting point for where we are going. Our community’s history can inspire us by providing a perspective on the course of our own lives. Recognizing and embracing and caring for the symbols of our place can reward us; these symbols can inform and educate and entertain. They make Dorchester Dorchester. Acknowledgements We thank the City of Boston and Mayor Thomas M. Menino for seeing this important project through. We appreciate the City’s commitment and the support of the Edward Ingersoll Browne Fund and the City’s Neighborhood Improvements through Capital Expenditures (N.I.C.E.) Program. Several individuals who worked on the project deserve special mention for their unstinting efforts over the course of many months. 1. John Dalzell who coordinated the process from the city’s end; 2.

The Prudential Center was one of seven Regional Home Offices (RHOs) planned by Prudential in the 1950s to decentralize its management. What began as an effort to reinvigorate the company’s bureaucratic makeup evolved into a prominent building program and urban planning phenomenon, promoting the economic prospects of each RHO city and reshaping the geography of the business district.

    Dear Custom House Owner: It is my pleasure to introduce you to Custom House Leasehold Condominium Association, LLC Board of Directors Newsletter. In this issue, you’ll learn about the latest developments taking place at your home away from home in Boston, Massachusetts. Best regards, Willie Nagda General Manager Marriott Vacation Club PulseSM at Custom House Custom House Leasehold Condominium Association, LLC 2nd Quarter – 2016 Board of Directors Newsletter Dear Custom House Owner: Renovation The major refurbishment project has been completed and “everyday life” is back to normal at Custom House. Commencing with the facade repairs that lasted until December 2015, and concluding with the major refurbishment that began in January of this year, it has been a challenging time for the management team and their associates. Through it all, guests received the highest level of attention, which the Custom House team is always committed to providing, regardless of the circumstances. There remain a few items that need to be resolved, specifically the weight of the dining room chairs, the installation of some bathroom shelving and hooks, the arrival of the new coffee tables and a few other minor details. Yes, it’s been a long fifteen months, but the end result is that the Custom House exterior façade has been repaired with preventative measures being addressed, and the much-awaited major renovation has concluded resulting in a bright, new and inviting charm that we hope all Custom House owners will enjoy for many years. Exciting News About Custom House Resales If you want to sell your Custom House Timeshare Week(s), there have been some significant changes made that are getting results for many Custom House Owners… Dramatic changes have occurred in the resale of week(s) over the past 4 months at the Marriott Vacation Club Resale Department.
