Over the years I've written a lot of articles for print and web publications about the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Most of them have quotes from Margaret Pokorny. She's been my personal tutor and resource on important aspects of our neighborhood like the Mall and the trees that make it such a special place.
During the weekend I saw a post from The Garden Club of the Back Bay that said Margaret will present "The Grandest Boulevard: Commonwealth Avenue Mall" at the Boston Public Library, this Thursday at 6 p.m., as part of the BPL's Building Boston Initiative.
I will be there because I'm not about to miss an opportunity to pick up a few more interesting facts about the park and see some of the visuals in her wonderful collection of materials about the Mall.
If you enjoy the park and would like to learn more about it, I hope you'll come and meet the woman to whom we all owe so much for all she does for the green spaces in the city. Last year the city selected her to be the first recipient of the annual Park Partners Award. She knows her subject and always makes hearing about it a fun experience.
