KitchenWares by Blackstones is hosting a holiday “Cash Mob” on Saturday, December 3 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in their Back Bay store located at 215 Newbury Street. The cash mobs are part of Constant Contact’s and KitchenWares by Blackstone’s larger efforts to encourage local holiday shoppers to “buy it in your own backyard,” while raising awareness and donations for the Boston-based nonprofit Community Servings.
As a great way to bridge the online and offline experience, cash mobs bring communities and local businesses together, inspiring customers to shop locally. Holiday shoppers are encouraged to visit KitchenWares by Blackstones and participate in their cash mob by bringing a donation for Community Servings while also taking advantage of the prizes, premium giveaways, and store gift cards that will be awarded during the event.
“Cash mobs are a fun way to bring the Back Bay community together while supporting a great cause,” said Co-Owner Jennifer Hill. “While the event is only scheduled for a few hours, we’ll be carrying the spirit of it long after the holiday season as we are committed to supporting other small businesses and the Boston community at large.”

They hope that you will

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
BOSTON – CLARENDON STREET
I-90 WB ON-RAMP PERMANENT CLOSURE
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
Who: Massachusetts Department of Transportation
When: Tuesday, August 27th at 6:00 PM
Where: Boston Public Library in Copley Square
Commonwealth Salon — Please use the 700 Boylston Street entrance of the Library
700 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
On Tuesday, August 27th at 6:00 PM, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will join area officials for a public information meeting regarding the permanent closure of the I-90 Westbound Clarendon Street on-ramp which will take place on September 3, 2019.
This closure is being implemented following approval from the Federal Highway Administration and due to concerns over safety and effective travel at this location. The on-ramp has limited sight distance for drivers, meaning they have little visibility of other vehicles when they are merging onto the highway, and it is too short for vehicles to accelerate to the appropriate speed at the access point. The crash rate at this on-ramp is also higher than the rates at other on-ramps in the local area.
This meeting location is accessible to people with disabilities. MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, open or closed captioning for videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats, such as audio tapes, Braille and large print), as available. For accommodation or language assistance, please contact MassDOT’s Chief Diversity and Civil Rights Officer by phone (857-368-8580), fax (857-368-0602), TTD/TTY (857-368-0603) or by email (MassDOT.CivilRights@dot.state.ma.us). Requests should be made as soon as possible prior to the meeting, and for more difficult to arrange services including sign-language, CART or language translation or interpretation, requests should be made at least ten (10) business days before the meeting.
