I'm JO Welch (she/hers). Ball Square resident, mom, remote business owner, and I started #BallSqThrives after walking around and talking to the brick-and-mortar business owners.
My goal is to connect our community at all ages, at all levels to sustain Ball Square in this trying time.
I host my own page as I am working with the community to get an updated centralized page to keep up with our activities.
THIS LIST:
This is a list of residents, families, businesses, entrepreneurs, students... well, our community. Maybe this was your first time to Ball Square or you can remember the CVS, either way- welcome. The goal of this email is to keep you posted on fun and exciting ways you can support BallSquare. I will not inundate your mailbox.
Note: We are not the only square in this position. Magoun and Union are also taking a hit.
We have a hole.
We can talk for days about what it will bring once the Green Line Extention work moves forward, but right now Ball Square is struggling. That hole is literally the bridge to our business flow.
Call to Action:
Bring your bodies to Ball Square. If you are planning a meeting, having brunch, need a cup o' joe, dry cleaning, groceries, pet grooming, lunch, snacks, a bottle of wine, a trim, a cut, your nails done, new eyeglasses, pain relief, paper.... think of Ball Square.
Thank you for wanting to know more about our Square. Thank you for signing up.
