Inman Square Neighborhood Association

Our neighborhood recently started a neighborhood association and of course I joined!  The group's goals include:

We are starting a neighborhood association! We have just had our first meeting on November 30, and were delighted that 40 of our neighbors came. Now as we are getting ready for our second meeting, we would love to have you join us.

We want to get to know you, to hear your ideas and to share a few ideas of our own. Most importantly, we want the people who live in Inman Square to have a say in the many changes that are happening here.

The first four topics on our agenda were:
- Working with the Inman Square Business Association to revitalize the square
- Beautification of Inman Square
- New Green Line station and its impact on Inman Square
- Traffic patterns in Inman Square


I definitely wanted to have a say in changes in the neighborhood and I found the meeting to be open and inclusive.  I love that the owner of Ole donated the space, and snacks, for the group.  I found the different intersection plans to be very interesting and thought provoking.  I especially loved the "speed dating" portion of the event which allowed me to meet five fellow Inman neighbors.  I realized that I definitely feel at home here in Inman even though I don't really know anyone who lives here.  This meeting was a great way to get to know some of our neighbors!
