Block Party

[tracy-rolling.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow (Tuesday Aug. 1st) there are going to be afternoon block parties all over Boston. Some of the main ones are marked on this map.

This is a nation-wide event, run by the neighborhood watch people. Does anyone know of any block parties in Somerville/Davis?
