“Minuteman set up Clinton Livery who arrived on time and drove me to Beth Isreal in Boston for a doctor's appointment. The driver was wonderful and very helpful as he arranged how to get in touch with him for the return trip. He was also very interesting to talk to. This service was extremely helpful as it's almost impossible to find anyone to help get you into Boston these days. The driver also went over the route with me, so maybe I can drive in myself next time.”

“completed the jewelry 101 course. Fantastic instructor who led us through a series of steps learning the correct techniques on every tool in the Artisan's Asylum jewelry shop. We completed a ring (which my wife liked) over the two day 6 hour course. I have had some previous experience but this was an excellent learning process that taught me many things that improved my skills. Highly recommend taking this learning journey!! Great value for your money.”

“We spent a couple of hours at Strongwater Farm for my aunt’s birthday, and it was nothing short of magical. My aunt has been bravely going through cancer treatment, and this experience was the absolute perfect respite for her, my sister, and me.

Jane Kirby was amazing to work with from the very beginning. She seamlessly set up this special day and led us through an incredible, deeply restorative experience with the horses. If you are looking for a place of peace, healing, and beautiful connection, I highly recommend Strongwater Farm. Thank you, Jane, for making this milestone so unforgettable!”

“All I can say is in the 60's, this was the place to go. They had sailboats, row boats, all kinds of stuff to do. I rode my bike there from somerville. I think the guy running the sailing ⛵️ program name was sully? Maybe. You had to pass and get a sailing certificate first. I can't believe that place is still there.”

“The Food Project-- awesome for so many reasons. But, never having purchased their CSA or been to one of their farmers' markets (though I definitely trust other reviewers' 5-star assessments), the basis of my review are their volunteer opportunities and workshops/events for the general public. I met one of my really good friends while volunteering at the Food Projects' urban farm near Dudley Square, where I also got my first experience in urban gardening. The staff are friendly and welcoming to all, whether you're an individual or group (just make sure you arrange ahead of time if you're bringing a big group of people). It's a great place to get your hands dirty and know that you're making a difference in the community by helping a great organization. The cooking workshops they offer at their Dudley Street HQ are also great. Knowledgeable community members teach classes on bread-making, pickling, various cultural cuisines (i.e., Sudanese or Cape Verdean), and all classes are donation-based. Cooking workshops typically run in the late winter and early spring--just in time for you to have some new ideas about how to use the harvest from the coming growing season!-- so keep an eye on TFP's Facebook page or e-mail list for updates on the workshops in mid-winter. There are also gardening workshops offered throughout the spring, and a spring seedling sale.”

“I showed up as this place was closing. The woman running it took pity and let me look around while she shut down - extremely kind of her. She has worked on bringing this home and the story of this family into the light. It is a wonderful telling of a black family who lived here. She has worked extremely hard to know more about the families and the people who lived here. I could tell her effort in this project as she told me stories about a black woman suing and another who trained to be a teacher. I'm grateful she let me look around.”

“My 5 year old son is learning piano with Dr. Daniel Nayman at the Powers Music School. We were impressed by Daniel's teaching experience, patience with young kids and great communication. My son loves to go to piano lesson every week. Highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking for a piano teacher. Powers Music has all sorts of other music lessons too. School location is great. Big parking lot is a plus.”
