“The staff at the Burbank YMCA after-school program are truly amazing. My daughter absolutely loves going there and often asks to stay even longer! She's made wonderful friends, feels accepted, and is surrounded by care and support. The program keeps her engaged, active, and entertained with a variety of activities, making every afternoon something to look forward to. As a parent, it's such a relief to know she's in such great hands, and I’m incredibly grateful for the positive, enriching environment the YMCA provides. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“This was where I adopted my cat 10 years ago! We definitely made the right choice in adopting him.
Assuming the rules have stayed the same, if you want a kitten you have to get 2 so that they keep each other company.
No kill shelter! Staff lovingly care for the cats”

“One of the best urban meditation centers in the vipassana tradition. Kind staff, beautiful building, and welcoming community.

Larry, Narayan, and Michael are incredibly knowledgeable, genuine — and human. Larry Rosenberg was one of my favorite teachers — in any spiritual tradition. He’s that rare combination of incredibly funny and blunt — and genuinely caring.

CIMC offers a variety of programming, from drop-in meditation sessions, to Wednesday evening talks, to affinity programs for various communities — to daylong in-center retreats.

The building housing the center is absolutely gorgeous. It’s traditional and stately — while remaining cozy and welcoming. The surrounding wooden fence and gardens give the impression of being in a Japanese monastery.

Beautiful place and great people. I highly recommend it!”

Christina and her staff show so much compassion towards the individuals and take the time to come up with a plan specifically geared towards the family and individual’s needs. I’ve been to many fundraising events and the energy, passion, and care they put into everything they do is very inspiring!”

“What an amazing place to have as a resource. The people that work there are always super friendly. It's nice to have a place to stay that's not a hospital! They have everything you could need. A nice and quiet room, many shared bathrooms. There a nice yard with playset for the kids. A huge playroom in the basement plus a media room and laundry room. Plus they always have family style meals to share in their large dining room. The kitchen is big with enough room for at least 2 families to cook at once. They usually have pantry items and shared items in the fridge. They make it feel comfortable and safe. Thank you Boston House!!”

“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.”

“Show was amazing, sound was great, and the venue was nice and new. I will say, though, the organization was complete nonsense. The space to get into the theater is narrow, so figuring out which line was for beverages, entry, merch, or exit was pretty chaotic. The staff wasn’t very communicative besides one friendly guy up front. They sell alcohol in the lobby, but apparently you can only bring it inside if you’re at a table, which is a fine rule to have — but maybe mention that before someone spends $20 on beer five minutes before the show starts. We only noticed a small sign to the side afterward, and the bartender’s reaction was simply, “I already rung it up.” So we basically wasted money on drinks we couldn’t have. Luckily, the band was incredible and made up for it, but the experience overall was not smooth.”

“An amazing place run by Vicky, a tremendous presence in Massachusetts dance community. It has nice space to dance, good floor and sound. Come for the argentine tango lessons by engaging local teachers, social dance milongas with warm community, workshops and performances by out of town luminaries.”
