1. JP Tours: A note from Gretchen Grozier with the JP Historical Society: This week's JPHS walking tour is 'Stony Brook' - Explore a fascinating industrial area at the geographic heart of Boston that includes 19th-century tannery and brewery buildings, the homes of early German settlers, and today’s Boston Beer Company, the brewers of Samuel Adams. In the 1970s, a coalition of community groups joined together to block construction of the Southwest Expressway through JP and other Boston neighborhoods. Today, the Southwest Corridor Park that runs through the Stony Brook neighborhood stands as a testament to the power of community activism. Leaves from Stony Brook Orange Line T station, Saturday at 11am.
