Peak Fall. Sunset now back to before 6pm. Leaf senescence makes time spent outside a delight for the eyes. We, too, harden ourselves for the chill aligned with the winter solstice. But first, Halloween will come, and there's plenty to enjoy around #Massachusetts

By the bye, I'm #Knizer, a #SomervilleMA resident for almost 2 decades. Hi, Neighbor!

Let's make this virtual gathering space more welcoming so the community grows - to that end, I curate a weekly thread of cool stuff going on nearby (no algorithm - boosts help get the word out), and that's helped me befriend some cool people. If this vibes with you, if community building is something you're interested in, I'd love to chat.

I compile my events list from a variety of sources, some included here:
