Annual Coats for Kids drive

Posted on September 22, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Anton’s Cleaners The 16th Annual Coats for Kids drive will accept coats October 11, 2010 – January 8, 2011
The mission of Coats for Kids is simple – anyone in need of a coat will have one. Anton’s Cleaners, a clothing care company with 43 store locations in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, will begin accepting gently used, warm kid, adult and baby sized winter coats for the 2010/2011 drive beginning October 11, 2010.

Since the program began in 1994, Anton’s has collected, cleaned free of charge and distributed over 620,000 gently worn winter coats to men, women and children who would otherwise be without one. The program receives invaluable support from collection, promotional, supporting and distribution partners as well as individuals.

We’ll be taking the LONG way for awhile

Posted on September 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Starting Monday, September 20th pedestrian access through the Hamilton Canal District (HCD) site will no longer be available. Access will be restricted through the spring of 2011, when the Hamilton Canal and Trestle Bridge walkway project is anticipated to be open connecting the Merrimack Canal walkway with Jackson Street .

Trinity, the Master Developer for the HCD, will be completing on site roadway construction in the location of the current pedestrian walkway, thereby rendering pedestrian access through the site unsafe. Pedestrians should seek alternate routes around the HCD and are encouraged to utilize safe routes on existing sidewalks.
