Boston Strong? Community Opening TONIGHT!

7-9 p.m. (doors open at 6:45 p.m.)
Community Church of Boston
565 Boylston St.
2nd Flr.
in Copley Square

Well folks, the show starts tonight. We've got some great speakers, and look forward to a solid conversation.

We've got some appropriate weather for the event - rain and wind. However, the temperatures will stay warm until well after we finish up; so wear your rain gear, and try to take the T to Copley Square (the outbound Green Line entrance is just a half block away, the inbound entrance is a block away in front of the Boston Public Library).

If you need to park, we remind you that Copley Square is packed with trucks and scaffolding for this year's Marathon next week; so we recommend using the Parking Lot at Back Bay Station on Dartmouth St., if you're driving in.

That's it for now ... see you all soon!
