Hello JP neighbors,

My friend, Nancy, and I just started teaching Zumba classes at Spontaneous celebrations. Info is below. We had a wonderful first week of classes, with neighbors coming out, boogying down, having fun, getting some great exercise, and connecting with one another!

If you check out a class in February, your first class is FREE. This Monday, Feb. 14, the theme is Self-Love Zumba.

Joya

Are you ready to party…

Neighbors,

This snow has been tough and the "space savers" and dealing with parking has been a struggle for all of us. This morning I found my neighbors doing the right thing - what we all should be doing. Please watch and share this post to help spread the word.…

Hello. I was out of town and missed this past JPNC meeting regarding the Whole Foods in Hyde Square. I would like to be able to express my opinion to the JPNC and was wondering if there was a way to do so via email.

After shoveling out my car from about five inches of snow, I left work in Roslindale around 2:30 on Tuesday. It took about a half an hour to get home to Central JP...it was very slippery. My employer had just come from my neighborhood an hour before and said there were alot of parking spaces available on the street then, but by the time I got there I didn't see any but one. It looked big enough and that I could get it. But I was wrong on both accounts! (For the first time, I have been wrong…

This app for Android phones is a must have for days like these.. The weather is dreadful out there, but many of us still have to go to work.  So we end up standing out in the bitter tundra, waiting and waiting for the next bus, but there is no reason.  Not when you can know exactly when the next three buses are arriving at our stop.  That's right, this app give real time tracking of all city buses/stops, accurate down to the second.

We all want to get better, don't we?  In fact most of us are trying in most areas of our lives to get better.  It's part of our cultural way of thinking.  We think things are supposed to work better, faster and more precisely.  In the recesses of our minds, most of us even believe we are getting faster and stronger and smarter - and that aging is not really affecting us that much.…
