Tonight we are headed down to the landmark All Saint's Church in Ashmont Peabody Square to add some historical glee to life! The Harvard Glee Club and All Saints Choir of Men & Boys concert at 7 PM tonight will re-establish a historic connection: what do Harvard Square and Dorchester’s Ashmont neighborhood have in common—besides being stops at either end of the Red Line? Click here to find out... We predict a full house, so get there early!

even plants get recycled

If you see folks digging up some trees or plants in Peabody Square, they are saving them in advance of a major overhaul. We hear gardeners in the neighborhoods around the Square are pitching in to recycle worthy perennials and shrubs.

ashmont hill yard sale!

This Saturday May 17, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., start at Welles Ave & Ocean St. Pick up a map here or at other locations throughout and enjoy this neighborhood adjacent to Peabody Square.
This well-known annual Dorchester event is massive.
You will find almost anything you can think of sale: original art, plants, window weights, furniture, antiques, vintage clothing, bird cages, pot & pans, there was even a chariot last year. Even if you don't buy anything it's fun to walk around with the crowd.
Be forewarned: I heard the Red Line will be running shuttle bus service down Dorchester Ave.
later note added - I will try and find out more Dorchester yard sales and publicize, it strikes me they are a good way to keep serviceable items out of the trash heap.
