The weather on Sunday, October 18, 2020, turned out to be just perfect for our mini-concert at our Green Street Parklet. We were so thankful to Daniel Kim of the Boston Symphony Orchestra volunteer his talents and wonderful instrument. These days, the little joys like live music are few and far between, so it was much appreciated.
At last the parklet has arrived! Our parklet technically functions as a public park, so it is free and open to the public for use. It will remain in its location until the cold, at which point the city will pack and store the parklet. In the Spring, the parklet is reinstalled in the same location.
