Our “Photo of the Day” for Throwback Thursday is the class of 1892 at Jamaica Plain High School.
A group of Bridging Forest Hills (BFH) supporters held signs and collected petition signatures calling for a bridge to replace the dilapidated Casey Overpass in Forest Hills. MassDOT plans to permanently eliminate the bridge and build a 6-lane to 7-lane arterial street with five new signals for those currently using the bridge.
The JP Music Festival is getting ready for our 4th annual event, which will take place on Saturday, September 6, 2014 from 12 noon to 7 PM at Pinebank Field.
The JP Music Festival is a free community event produced by a volunteer group of residents (Rick Berlin, Kellie Cardone, Justin McCarthy, Charles McEnerney, Shamus Moynihan, David Mueller, and Margie Nicoll) who want to bring the music of great JP musicians to the neighborhood we love so much.
Each weekday we post a random image from around the neighborhood. Here’s Instagram user evazzie‘s view of a Jackson Square landmark.

Jackson Square celebrated a milestone Monday with a ribbon-cutting on a $17 million early education center. But the joy was tempered, for at least one speaker, by the need to keep doing what it takes to lift families out of poverty and violence.

While walking to a meeting Monday night, I glanced at the back of the billboards above JP Knit & Stitch. Shreds of banners from the 2011 Whole Foods fight hang there still.
