selves in this space. As parents in the neighborhood, they had brought their young ones to this activity. We can’t wait to welcome Distraction Brewing to Roslindale!

With the help of our ad-hoc Events Committee and led by our Program Manager, RVMS was also able to rebrand and enhance our existing events. The Taste of Roslindale became the more contemporary and colorful Savor the Square, and our Holiday Market on Birch Street included much more lights, music, and holiday cheer. We are excited to continue these traditions for years to come.

RVMS is truly energized by 2017. Our Board and Committees are fierce and thoughtful, and our small staff is ready for action to get the good work done. We couldn’t have done any of what you read in this report without our dedicated supporters.

Thank you for your continued support for our community.

2017 was the year of pop-up events and vacant storefront activations of all kinds for Roslindale Village Main Street.

We started the year strong by welcoming the Craft Beer Cellar Rozzie to the Substation in January, marking monumental progress in the redevelopment timeline of this historic building. While we were disap-pointed that plans for a restaurant on the main floor fell through, we took advantage of the opportunity to fill it with #ROSlove in 2017: film viewings, community meetings, and most memorably: the Trillium Garden at the Substation, a temporary winter beer garden which brought delicious craft beer and a space for all ages to gather in our neighborhood.

In 2017, RVMS filled vacant storefronts with new life, starting with an Open House at the Prescott Building. We used this opportunity to solicit community feed-back on what they’d like to see in Roslindale. We also were able to market this space to potential tenants—and are excited that a Cajun-Vietnamese seafood restaurant, Shaking Seafood, will open in 2018. With the help of Roslindale Artist-in-Residence Cornell Coley, RVMS was also able to coordinate a Village Music Celebration with an indoor drum circle inside the Prescott Building—a weekend of performances and an original piece of art—all of which lit up this space with new energy.

In addition to the Prescott Building, RVMS partnered with Roslindale Wants to Play to take over 2 Belgrade Avenue to bring the community a Pop-Up Build Zone, a collaborative community-built ball-run, using recy-cled materials. This activation of space brought busi-ness to Birch Street and beyond as well as inspired the folks of Distraction Brewing, Co., to envision them-

Roslindale Village has a lot more than just Adams. It has the most dynamic farmers market in the city, a vibrant restaurant scene, an urban business district close to a world-renowned arboretum and a newly-ren-ovated historic substation. At the center or all of this is Roslindale Village Main Street, and that’s why Team Adam supports RVMS.

This year’s Small Business Saturday and Tree Lighting event was better than ever – my sales increased by 20% compared to last year’s. Actually, I think it was the 2nd best day my store has ever had in sales.elizabeth swanson (BiRCh ST. hOuSe & gARDen)

“Foot traffic at my store has increased by 150% since the Trillium Garden at the Substation opened.bryan reeves (CRAFT BeeR CellAR ROSlinDAle)“


Built in 1911, the Substation functioned as part of the Boston Elevated Railway Company’s then-revolutionary alternating electric current pow-er system. It has been vacant since the 1970’s. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and saw a flurry of activity in 2017, with the grand opening of the Craft Beer Cellar Roslindale on the ground floor in January, and the opening of the Trillium Brewing Company’s Garden at the Substation in December.

The Craft Beer Cellar Roslindale celebrated their grand opening in January with a ribbon-cutting by Mayor Martin J. Walsh, cake, and an appearance by the Keytar Bear.

Trillium Brewing Company reformulated their highly successful sum-mer beer garden on the Rose Kennedy Greenway for an indoor venue in the Substation. When plans for opening a restaurant for the main floor of the Substation fell through in the fall of 2017, RVMS quickly identified and sought out Trillium to utilize this unique space. Trillium was chosen because of its national reputation, loyal following, and successful track record of working in partnership with food, arts, and cultural pop-up events in non-traditional spaces. Trillium draws a crowd, and RVMS was poised to help welcome newcomers to discover Roslindale's existing mix of vibrant restaurants and retail options. RVMS hopes that this creative partnership sparks similar projects across all Boston Main Street districts. Trillium’s winter tenancy caps RVMS’s 16-year effort to activate the long-vacant main floor of the Substation, which is notable for its grand open space and historic, industrial aesthetic. The Substa-tion underwent a $4.8 million renovation conceived and undertaken by RVMS, Historic Boston Inc., and Peregrine Group, LLC.

NEW baNNErs WElCoME Visitors to rosliNdalE VillaGE

In Fall 2017, RVMS debuted new lamppost banners showcasing neighborhood pride on lampposts leading into the Village and on select lampposts around Adams Park. The banners, 22 in total, feature custom portraits of business owners and commu-nity members painted by local resident, artist, and Design Committee member Beth Greely. With the text, “Roslindale Welcomes Everyone,” the banners celebrate the diversity and people of Roslindale.


PoP-UP EVENts fillEd VaCaNt storEfroNts

Prescott Building oPen HouseIn February, the Economic Development Committee hosted an open house to invite residents and prospective business owners to tour the available space on the first floor of the Prescott Building. Overlooking Adams Park, RVMS recognized the poten-tial of this building to be the site of something wonderful for the neighborhood, and used the open house to solicit community feedback about what they’d like to see in the space and Roslindale Village in general. A Cajun-Vietnamese seafood restaurant, Shaking Seafood, signed a lease and plans to open in 2018.

Village Music celeBrationIn another activation of the Prescott Building, RVMS partnered with one of the City of Boston’s Artist-in-Residence, Cornell Coley, to bring three musical groups to the space for a weekend of performances. Local artist Kevin Townsend also created an original visual art piece for the event, which was lit and displayed in the windows following the event.

Build ZoneIn March, RVMS partnered with Roslindale Wants to Play to convert the vacant store-front at 2 Belgrade Ave into a collaborative, community-built ball run. Roslindale Wants to Play built a hand-cranked conveyor belt and supplied balls and a mix of specialized components and everyday items, such as cardboard tubes, PVC connectors and rubber bands. The young folks of the neighborhood (and young-at-heart, ages 2 to 72) attended this event for three weekend days to participate in this unique Roslindale attraction.

suBstation MoVie nigHtsThis summer and fall, RVMS partnered with Roslindale Film Series and Charles River Church to show three movies at the then-vacant Substation: Night of the Living Dead, Wizard of Oz, and Ghostbusters.

druM circles in adaMs Park and Beyond

RVMS was able to connect regularly with the City of Boston’s Roslindale Artist-in- Residence Cornell Coley on ideas on how to engage the neighborhood. We suggested utilizing Adams Park in the early weeknight evenings when folks are coming home from work and school. The outcome of this activity was a multigenerational success. Cornell had 20-30 drummers at a time from all backgrounds, ages, and walks-of-life. Because of the success of this program and the Village Music Celebration, Cornell Coley was asked to have a drum circle with the volunteers of WalkUP Roslindale as they painted the Street Mural near the Boston School of Modern Languages.


CoMMUNitY EVENts

egg HuntOn the Saturday before Easter, families from near and far came out to celebrate the arrival of spring and hunt for 6,000 treat-filled eggs at the RVMS Annual Egg Hunt. In its 23rd year, we were joined by Councilor Tim McCarthy, and, of course, Mr. Bunny. Children also en-joyed face painting, a baby animal petting zoo, and arts and crafts in Fallon Field.

Pride PicnicThis year RVMS hosted the 3rd Annual Pride Picnic in Adams Park. With support of Comcast and the Boston Fire Department’s Touch-a-Truck, this Bring-Your-Own-Picnic event is a great way for residents and families to celebrate Pride Week with the City of Boston, here in Roslindale Village.

Volunteer FairIn the spring, RVMS Marketing Committee and BCYF Roslindale Community Center co-hosted the first-ever com-munity-wide volunteer fair to connect residents with local organizations that make a difference in Roslindale and beyond. We welcomed over 30 organizations, and interacted with ~60 residents. Our favorite part of this event was connecting community and non-profit organizations with each other—some folks had never met until that day and they may end up collaborating because of the RVMS Volunteer Fair.

tree ligHting & sMall Business saturdayThis much-loved tradition kicks off the holiday season in Roslindale. The Annual Tree Lighting in Adams Park is a festive event. Santa and Mayor Walsh arrived on the Ladder 16 fire truck, and local families enjoyed musical perfor-mances, and ornament-making with the Sacred Heart School.

Small Business Saturday, a national day dedicated to celebrating small local business, takes place on the same day. RVMS distributed Small Business Saturday flyers, doormats, reusable shopping bags, and balloons to local busi-nesses, and dedicated marketing resources to highlighting their products, events, and special promotions for the weekend via social media and our e-newsletter to generate support for our local businesses. Over 30 businesses take part in Small Business Saturday in Roslindale and this day begins the start of the holiday shopping season.


HolidaY MarKEt oN birCH strEEt

The 2nd Annual Holiday Market on Birch Street was a festive success, offering Rozzidents and visitors alike the opportunity to celebrate and shop for the season along the small stretch of Birch Street between Corinth and South Streets. RVMS was able to close this street to traffic and open it to pedestrians, musicians, artists, and families. This year’s event included four separate musical offerings, multiple child-friendly activities such as face painting and Roslindale Wants to Play’s sidewalk chalk spirograph activity, and over 20 pop-up vendors. Restaurants had lines out the door and gift retailers were much appreciative of the foot traffic.


saVor tHE sQUarE

RVMS brought back a popular event previously known as the Taste of Roslindale, and rebranded the event as Savor the Square. Savor the Square was designed to create a more festive atmosphere, and bring together new and long-time residents, neighbors, and local busi-nesses to celebrate Roslindale’s amazing foodie culture. Guests enjoyed food from fourteen local restaurants and food businesses, as well as live music and a silent auction.

Shanti Restaurant’s spinach chaat won “Bite of the Night” and was awarded a traveling cutting board, which will reside at the winner’s business each year until the next Savor the Square event.

The 32nd season of the RVMS Summer Farmers Market brought the same sense of community and variety of vendors that has made the market a staple of Roslindale life and an attractive part of the neighborhood. We were voted Best Farmers Market in Boston by WGBH’s Boston A-List again for the fourth year in a row!

Our Opening Day celebrated the theme of Green Transit in collaboration with WalkUp Roslindale and Rozzie Bikes. Highlights of the 2017 Summer Farmers Market include musical performances, such as Zeke Martin, Aubrey Haddard, Opposite People, and Terry Kitchen. Children and families enjoyed kids’ activities all season, such as the Hal-loween Bash and La Piñata’s Dia de Los Muertos Celebration at the Roslindale Branch of the Boston Public Library, Davey the Clown, Groovy Baby Music’s drumming class, and a recycled art activity with Kasey Appleman.

RVMS closed Poplar Street to traffic on opening day. This created an expanded space for games like Roslindale Wants to Play’s giant corn hole toss, and allowed an increased number of vendors and community organizations to the market.

In May, the Economic Development Committee hosted the first- ever forum to bring together current and prospective property and business owners in and around Roslindale to connect with RVMS and City resources, and collaborate on the future of the Roslindale Village business district.

In addition to a presentation of RVMS services and business resources, presenters included Dr. Karilyn Crockett, Director of Economic Policy and Research from Mayor’s Office of Economic Development and William “Buddy” Christopher Jr., Commissioner Inspectional Services. Economic Development Committee members also shared insights into the future of retail, the role of pop-up shops in supporting local business and filling vacancies, and lessons from the most recent market analysis for the district.

RVMS Board President and local property owner Anthony Giordano served as a case study in how to access city funding for signage and strategies for securing tenants.


VolUNtEEr & bUsiNEss of tHE YEar

Each year, Boston Main Streets districts select a Business and Volunteer of the Year, and recognize their contributions to the community during an award ceremony with the Mayor. Main Streets depend on local volunteers to sustain our organizations, and work with local businesses to ensure a thriving neighborhood. This year Mayor Martin J. Walsh visited each of the Boston Main Street districts during his Mayor on Main trolley tour in July.

rVMs Business oF tHe year: Village Market2017 marks Village Market’s 20th Anniversary in Roslindale Village. The McInnis brothers take care of the market with pride, welcoming any and all requests from customers. Without the Village Market as an anchor in the neighborhood, residents wouldn’t have quick walk-able access to a local grocery store.

rVMs Volunteer oF tHe year: talia WHyteTalia has a quiet and unassuming personality, but is truly a force to be reckoned with. She is someone you can always count on to get the work done. She is a talented marketer, website designer, and creative thinker who is among the RVMS Marketing Committee’s most reliable volunteers. Talia led the design and implementation of the 2016 RVMS website overhaul, making information more readily accessible to the community and easier for staff to update. Talia also volunteers extensively with Friends of the Roslindale Library.


ENHaNCEd MarKEtiNG

Our Marketing Committee took the reins this year to update our outdated brochure with a sleek and shorter version, working with Design Committee Member, Sebastian Ebarb.

With the help of RVMS Photographer Bruce Spero, we were able to capture photos of the day-to-day lives of business owners and employees during a typical workday. These photos captured the stories of unique Rozzie businesses. Our Program Manager also interviewed and wrote narrative versions of these interviews for our website’s blog.

RVMS had received a lot of feedback that our e-newsletter was not smartphone-friendly. We were able to change that by creating a one-column e-newsletter featuring large photos and less text.

RVMS’s last Strategic Plan was for 2008-2011. Our Board reflected and decided that it was time for new vision and objectives for the organization. Beginning in the spring of 2017, the Strategic Planning Committee started the process by working with the consultants of Strategy Matters, LLC., surveying the community, and holding a Board Retreat where we focused on the future of Roslindale Village. We are excited about our 5-year Strategic Plan, which will be released and implemented beginning in the spring of 2018.
