#KarmaCommuting and our KarmaCommuting.com campaign is back in full swing and we have some pretty great prizes.

Just ask Mike from DFCI who won a $50 gift card to Target for taking our quiz and signing the pledge!

The “New Ideas in Music and Sound” series continues its second exciting season of cutting-edge original works by outstanding student composers and sound artists from colleges in the Fenway and Mission Hill areas on Thursday December 8th at 6pm at the
Parker Hill Branch of the Boston Public Library. The concert is free and open to the general public.

Masters student from New England Conservatory Anastasiya Dumma will perform her unique guitar improvisations influenced by twentieth century classical music, American jazz and Russian folk music.

There are dozens, maybe even hundreds of crosswalks in the LMA. Do you know how to cross safely? Do you cross safely all the time?

MassDOT has teamed up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Executive Office of Public Safety and the Department of Public Health to educate pedestrians, motorists and cyclists on crosswalk safety.

While the campaign is focused on parents teaching kids to use crosswalks properly and safely, there are some great tips for the tens of thousands of pedestrians, cars and cyclists we see in the LMA every day.

Bostonians LOVE their Red Sox, and we are totally devoted to our beloved Big Papi!

Last month Governor Baker announced that the Brookline Avenue Bridge that spans the Mass Pike will be officially named The David Ortiz Bridge! And it doesn't stop there - Mayor Walsh will rename the street that connects Fenway Park to the commuter rail station David Ortiz Drive!

Let's hope Papi retires with another World Series ring, too!

MASCO would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy the second edition of our Bands on Blackfan summer food and music series.

Hub On Wheels benefiting Boston Children’s Hospital

Our LMA neighbor Boston Children’s Hospital has been chosen as the beneficiary for this year’s TD Hub On Wheels Citywide Bike Ride.

We wanted to be sure to share this wonderful story about LMA neighbor Boston Children's Hospital's musical therapists. The profession has grown at Children’s, and across the country, too. There are now 6,000 credentialed music therapists practicing in the US, 15 percent of whom work in medical or surgical settings, according to the American Music Therapy Association.

See the interactive Boston Globe story here. 

A very special shout out to our LMA neighbors at Boston Children's Hospital for being named the Best Pediatric Hospital in the US according to U.S. News and World Report.
