       ALL THE NEWS

  SCOOP on the STOOP

Picture

We focus on being an informational site for our neighborhood and use our communication methods to be a guide to city services, local issues and keeping connected in our community. 

We do not promote businesses as a rule. However, occasionally we hear about a promotion or news about a resident or nearby business that we think might be of interest to our community.

If you have something of interest to promote, email us and if appropriate, we'll highlight it here!

Update April 18th 2026


Recently, Yvette Jarreau, from the Friends of the South End Library had asked us to help push this long-awaited project past the finish line.

Things are finally moving forward.

In a recent meeting with Mayor Wu and her staff from Neighborhood Services and City Operations, the Mayor expressed her commitment to getting the new building built, and the need to address the concern about city service vehicles being able to access the homes adjacent to the new building between W. Newton and Rutland Streets.

The Friends of Titus Sparrow Park Walking Group
is a monthly, all-ages walking series designed to bring neighbors together, explore Boston, and stay active in a relaxed, welcoming way

Walks are hosted by FTSP Board Member Irwin Levy, who guides each route and shares insights along the way. Routes vary in distance and terrain, and participants are always welcome to join for the full walk or step off early. This group is about participation, not pace.
