"City Hall To Go" Truck at Ashmont Station
The City of Boston's "City Hall to Go" truck made its first appearance at Ashmont Station/Flat Black Coffee Wednesday, July 24. The response was very enthusiastic, and the truck plans to return on the fourth Wednesday of each month, 4-7 p.m. (So mark your calendar for August 28!) The truck features a wide range of City services, without the need for a trip downtown. For the "menu," please click here. Thanks to truck staffers Liz Bates and Hanania Joseph, and to Elizabeth Rios, Chris English, and Justin Holmes in the Mayor's Office for setup.

This individual may have made contributions to other neighborhoods, projects or citywide concerns." The 2013 winning nominee will receive $2,000 and a plaque, and their story will be published in the local media.
