The other night at Town Meeting there was something different about Nevin’s Hall. The “holiday”lights were up and looked nice, but there was something else… ???? ???? something that has long been overdue for replacing.
The faded tattered stage curtains have been replaced! ??? ????? ?????????
The new curtains look great and make such a difference. Sometimes during TM I would just stare at the old curtains in amazement that they could even still hang. black jack
This is really a nice treat and brings some pride to all the events that will be held here. 🙂

I have to say I am pretty sick of things leaving downtown. It started with Ebenezer’s going out and has been on a downward spiral since then: Daisy’s consignment shop, the one Thai restaurant in town, Friendly’s, the Farmer’s Exchange and of course Fabric Place. Now the Civic League is going to close at the end of the month. ??? ???? ???? ???
Believe me, I want to be optimistic about downtown because I own a home here but sometimes it’s hard when the things you lake are dropping like flies. It was so great to have a place nearby that would have everything from artist lectures to Japanese-Mexican wrestling.
The one good thing is that is will not become the the 30-somethingth church (I’m not joking, look in the yellow pages) in downtown, but will become part of Mass Bay Community College’s facilities and I think they will do a decent job at up-keeping and usefully occupying the space. ?????? ??? ??? ?????
The Civic League will continue to exist as an organization, just not in this space. www 888casino com

Not too interesting but I did notice that Store 24, which had been there for many years, is now Tedeschi Food Shop. It’s not a big deal since it’s still the same type of store and will get the same type of mentions in the police beat, but just thought I’d point it out that Store 24 is no longer with us.
