The UNOFFICIAL 24 Norman Street Blog

After a seven-month hiatus, I have decided to revive the 24 Norman Street blog as a personal endeavor. Just to be clear: This blog no longer represents either Markwood Management or Harvest Properties official policy or information. Harvest has it's own official website and page for 24 Norman Street, and there is a private, semi-official Facebook page maintained by another resident and trustee. I chose to revive this blog, because I started and maintained it for 8 years, and during that time many people got used to following it as a source of news, information and recommendations. Several condo documents are also still available for download through this blog.
I am the longest-serving trustee still living in the building (eleven years) and have an institutional memory that stretches back to 2007. I will post as I see fit. This may include posts about neighborhood and community issues such as; parking, traffic, crime, trash-disposal, taxes, recycling, and community events.
