Spring is finally here and with it, comes all of the left over sand and salt left behind from preemptive storm prep.

Alley Rally 2016 will sweep through the neighborhood on Saturday, April 30th, 2016, from 8:30 a.m. through noon. Coordinating with Mayor Walsh’s Citywide Cleanup, Boston Shines 365, come and join your neighbors, including groups from local fraternities and some of our Back Bay schools, in sweeping the alleys and side streets. Thanks to donations from our local businesses, The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay provides coffee, juice, bagels and doughnuts at the Clarendon Street Playground starting at 8:30 a.m. At 9:00 a.m., we will divide in groups and head off to clean with City-supplied tools. After we finish, there will be a picnic lunch and free raffle (also donated by Back Bay businesses) for the volunteers at the playground. This is a great way to get to know your neighbors and spruce up the neighborhood at the same time. NABB has been conducting Alley Rally since 1967! All ages welcome & no RSVP necessary.
