    Jeff,

    What happened to my comment on the blog?

    Joe,

    How often do you delete a post?

    I understand your reluctance to leaving it on the blog, but that's not what people in what supposedly is a free society do. Nothing I said in my post is untrue.

    Last year you answered a question I had saying, "Post anything and everything on NFN. That's why we built it."

    Nothing I said is slanderous, I can prove anything I said and more. And I believe I have a responsibility to disclose what I have learned about our representative to my fellow neighbors,

    By the way, where did Jeff Sanchez's picture go? Thanks for removing it.

    Let the debate begin.

    I have now sent a copy of my post to a number of supporters and the JP Gazette.

  • Rebecca F (community manager)

    Hey there!

     

    I seem to have misplaced the welcoming letter.  I also need the managers site address again.

  • Katie DeLaRosa

    Hi!  I'm a teacher and have ALL the snow days at home with my daughter.  I am interested in being a dispatcher for the Snow Crew.  Can you give me more info?  I read the post on what it required.

    Thanks,

    Katie DeLaRosa

    Hey Chief,

    Do you know of a way to track crime stats for a particular neighborhood.  The info I see online seems to be aggregated by District.   I'm interested in an area off Morton St.

     

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Hi Joseph, I have been able to post up some information on my page.  It was a little challenging at first but I think I got the hang of it now. I like the new format.

    Hi Joseph,

     

    Unfortunately I am once again alone in my condo with my two small dogs for another weather emergency!  My husband is in Brazil and my first floor neighbor is away for the summer.  Please don't tell anyone, but I am really scared to death about the hurricane.  If you know of anyone who is alone and would like to stay at my condo (own room and bath...please let me know. Thank you.

  • sarah siegel muncey

    Hi Joseph! I think you're leaving this week! Would you like me to take over the park or at least parts of it? Are there others interested? I was not on email this weekend, so I didn't know about the park prep, but would love to get involved in the cleanup. --Sarah 

  • Matt Finnigan

    Sarah - my girlfriend Janine and I are happy to help out with park-related things as well. We have the two female German Shepherds Wilma and Nora. Definitely gonna need some chainsaw-related cleanup.

  • Lisa Vaas (Moderator)

    Hey Joseph,

    I've been away in NYC and just now got your message. When is good to call to talk about N4N moderation?

    Cheers,

    Lisa

  • Rira

    Lisa,

    Joe did a wonderful job getting N4N going!

    If you and Joe could bring some "hyper" neighborly themes to JP right now after all the acrimony we have experienced in the wake of the Whole Foods fiasco, JP could use the breath of fresh air that brings all the good hearted people back out and reminds us that we are 99% a community of wonderful people!  (not the acrimonious lot that the media is portraying JP as with this Whole Foods issue taking way too much of a centre stage from all the good hearted harmony that all of us so enjoy from our neighbors!

    Joe,

     

    Do they still have groups that help with projects?  I have to get my air conditioners out and they are too heavy for me  It takes about 20 minutes (there are 4).  Only 1 is heavy.  I would like to get it done in the next few days.  I don't see any place on the website for this feature.   Could you let me know?  Thanks.  John jcjboston@yahoo.com.

  • Marcia Tritter

    Hi Joe, 
    Hope this finds you well.

    I am contacting you to see if you still have the program with snow shovelers...

    I live on Pond St. between the Riverway and Centre St.

    Last year someone just came by at every snowstorm... do I need to call someone now:?

    If so, what number?

    Thanks so much in advance for considering my questions in advance.

    Hi Joseph,

    I am Marilyn Bravo. I live in Jamaica Plain (14 John A. Andrew Street) and I am a widow. You were my hero last winter when you came personally with an co-worker and unburied my car after a major snow storm. Since snow is predicted for tomorrow I wanted you to know that I am gratefully requesting to be added to your list again this winter. I do not know how much snow is predicted for tomorrow but just in case it amounts to anything, I wanted to make sure you know that I want to be on your wonderful list again this year. I have a dark blue 2011 Subaru Legacy Sedan (plate # 625JS6). I can't remember if your crew does side walks or not, but if they do, I would love to request that the side walk be shoveled as well, but the big, big, big thing is my car. I will now go and register. Also, my phone phone is 617-522-2076. Once again, that you and God bless you now and always for being my hero last year. I was so happy to see that you are still with Neighbor to Neighbor this year. You are a true humanitarian.

    Sincerely,

    Marilyn Bravo

  • Carolyn MacNeil

    Joe-

    Hope you are well.  Charlestown NW Coalition needing to have their google group either unrestricted or turned over to another admin from the neighborhood.  Thoughts?  Can you reach out to Kelly Pellagrino at Kelly Pellagrini [director@charlestownnurseryschool.org]?  Many thanks!!  Carolyn MacNeil

     

  • Jack Weiland

    Hi Joe,

    Having trouble joining the Snow Crew group on my phone ... can you add me? I live at 10 Olmstead St in JP, happy to help shovel wherever needed.

    - Jack
  • Marcia Tritter

    Hi Joe, Hope this finds you well too.

    I am still disabled and trying to arrange to have my car shoveled out on Saturday when the snow ends.  I tried clicking as instructed on the Click Fix and just spoke to a lovely guy but he's in CT.

    How can I request this formally?  I'm parked on Grovenor St., around the corner from 14 Pond St, in the Handicapped Spot.  Pale blue FIT Honda, lic HP795G.  My email is marciajtritter@gmail.com and phone no. is 617.522.5252.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Sincerely, Marcia Tritter

  • Lynn Wiles

    Thank you.  Five neighbors came over and shoveled.  I am filled with gratitude and hope to be able to help another neighbor some day.

  • Patricia Spinelli

    Suppose to get about a ft of snow starting tomorrow afternoon through Sunday morning here in Greenfield, MA, better than the 2 feet of last time I guess...just hope it isn't windy! 

    Love your page!!

  • Lisa Vaas (Moderator)

    Thank goodness I'll be in Boston so I can help this time! I'll help in  Facebooking requests when I'm not shoveling. 

  • Lisa Vaas (Moderator)

    You got it. 

  • Patricia Spinelli

    Thanks for the invite Joseph! 

  • Patricia Spinelli

    He was a regular plow person and charged me $125.00!

  • Patricia Spinelli

    That's what I thought too! Had to use heating oil $$!
