The city of Boston is asking residents to rate the city’s priorities as it looks to the future and plans for Boston 2030. After getting initial feedback earlier this spring from more than 10,000 residents, the city is now asking residents to prioritize the themes. Ideas like developing more affordable housing, improving public transit (and infrastructure in general), creating more open space and encouraging entrepreneurial ventures are just some of the concepts shared.
Help Boston prioritize these concepts and share your thoughts.

Earlier this week the Boston Redevelopment Authority approved the Washington Village project, which will reshape a five-acre swath of South Boston turning the mostly unused space into more than 650 new residential units, a plaza and 99,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. The new development will be near Andrew Square between Old Colony and Dorchester avenues.
The development is not only one of the largest residential projects approved but it also stands out for combining both homeownership units and rentals with 17% of the residential units reserved for affordable, lower- and middle income residents; targeting what The Boston Globe article from earlier this week referred to as ‘middle-class clientele’, that has largely been left out of the current building boom.
You can read the full article about Washington Village in The Boston Globe.
Seems like a lovely way to wake up in the morning.
For those of you who are not familiar with Provincetown’s annual Carnival Week, I’ve reposted a video of images from last year’s celebration. The 2015 theme was Candy Land. This year’s theme of Back to the 80s will hopefully live up to all the crazy and creative outfits from last year. Either way Sergio and I will be there snapping photos. Thank you in advance for posing for us.
Do you plan on taking pictures? I would potentially like to include some of your favorite photos and will credit you on my blog. Let me know if you are interested by emailing me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Much thanks to Julian for this week’s Saturday morning coffee post.
