Andrew Square project: Washington Village

Dorchester, Southie, South Boston, Real estateEarlier 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.

2016 Carnival in Provincetown begins

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.
