Paul hosted our group for a nice 15-mile ride through the beautiful farmland and woodland roads of Westport and Dartmouth, Massachusetts, stopping at highlights like the historic Davoll’s General Store and Buzzards Bay Brewing. What a lovely day!
Friday 5/29 Eastdale Village celebrated another milestone, the completion and official opening of their new piazza! Anchoring Eastdale Ave S, the piazza is designed to provide meaningful, flexible, social gathering space, and bring new activity mirroring the common green on Eastdale Avve N.
Week 5 or 6 – the developer (Lauren) and senior site super (Dominic) joined and gave a presentation on their personal career paths, projects and experiences before we did a site tour with the 6 students.
