Our state rep, Alice Wolf,
came by the Putnam Gardens Community Center across the street from our
apartment yesterday to chat it up with her constituents and serve up
some mean ice cream (donated by Toscanini’s). She was accompanied by her interns and staff (who are fortunately much better with their digital cameras than I!).

It was a great chance to meet a lot of our neighbors and local activists, including candidate for city council Lawrence Adkins
(at left in picture). Rachel and I kicked around, hung out with our
next-door-neighbor Susan, and met some of our other neigbors for the
first time (sadly, since we’ve been there for almost 3 years!). The
neighborhood needs more of these events to bring everyone together.
