2014 was quite the year for RVMS and for Roslindale Village—our organization and our community grew in big ways and small.
While this report covers many of the milestones
that might have helped us, and Roslindale Village,
make headlines this past year, there were just as
many smaller (but equally notable) moments that
we all experienced just by being in this community together. I know what mine were: watching
children share eggs at the Egg Hunt in Fallon
Field—including one parent who scaled a fence to
put two eggs into the basket of a crying kid who
was convinced that they had missed the whole
hunt, laughing with neighbors at the Summer
Farmers Market in the MBTA parking lot while
we desperately looked for shade, gossiping with
beloved business owners about taboo subjects
like politics and religion or about neighborhood
on-goings, hearing residents say “Oh, I love your
e-newsletter—I read the whole thing from top to
bottom,” and standing with a business owner in
front of his shop as he told me that “it means so much to business owners that RVMS can
provide platforms for us to be able to speak to elected officials and raise concerns about our
community.”
STAFF
Ground breakings, ribbon cuttings, grand openings—we’ve got that covered in the pages to follow. If you want more of the regular Roslindale moments like mine above, then join me in this
great community and take advantage of all that RVMS and Roslindale Village has to offer. In
doing so, you’ll get to know all the community leaders, residents, business owners, neighbors
behind the great news in this report who are responsible for making 2014 the year it was.
Executive Director: Christina DiLisio
So get out there! I promise that you won’t be disappointed.

Share your own regular Roslindale moments on our Facebook page. We’ll be collecting these
throughout the year ahead and will print them in next year’s Annual Report for 2015.
ROSLINDALE VILLAGE MAIN STREET | ANNUAL REPORT 2014
THE ARCHITECTURE
Landmarks are being re-imagined and constructed all around us. Like the Cathedral and Market Square working in tandem in a medieval town,
so too do the Substation and Adams Park complement and define each other as the twin centers of our community.
ADAMS PARK GRAND OPENING
After two years of planning and community meetings,
over 3,000 people helped Mayor Walsh to re-open Adams Park to great fanfare on Saturday, October 18th.
The new park features a flexible performance space,
irrigation, more electrical outlets, more pathways,
two new entrances from the street, and new benches.
RVMS further contributed by partnering with Roslindale Green & Clean to purchase turf and plants for
the park’s new green spaces.
With these additions, Adams Park now officially takes
its place as the heart of community life, a true village
green and a welcoming space for all of Roslindale.
SUBSTATION REDEVELOPMENT
GROUNDBREAKING
The Roslindale Substation project broke ground on Saturday, September 6th, with Mayor Marty Walsh performing the
honors alongside our partners at Peregrine Group and Historic Boston, Inc. The redevelopment project, which RVMS
has been instrumental in ushering to it’s present stage, will
include a restaurant with complementary ground floor retail
and 43 units of housing.
HENDERSON FOUNDATION GRANT
The Roslindale Village Substation has been awarded
$40,000 from the George B. Henderson Foundation in
order to restore a prominent feature of the building—
the windows, including the large ones which face out
onto Washington Street.
In addition to the restoration of the windows, other
restoration work will occur. Masonry will be repointed
to match the original mortar in strength, composition,
color, and texture. Any broken or cracked bricks will
be replaced in-kind or repaired to match the original
in size, color, and texture. Existing concrete elements
will be repaired to match the original in size, color, and
texture. The large copper clad wooden doors and door
framing will be restored. The doors will be fixed in an
open position with a large glass wall placed within the
opening, allowing occupants to see out and pedestrians to see into the Substation.
ROSLINDALE VILLAGE MAIN STREET | ANNUAL REPORT 2014
THE STREET
It’s from the street where we engage in the texture of our neighborhood; where impromptu conversations are had, signs are read, ice cream is
dropped. The street is for small things; for fine-grained experiences, for the intimate and sometimes surprising details that give our neighborhood character. These are the small things of Roslindale that delighted us in 2014.
PARKLET PILOT
This past spring Fornax Bread
Company approached us to
see if there were opportunities
to host a parklet. Luckily, the
City of Boston Transportation
Department was entering the
second year of their new Parklet
Pilot program and were eager
to provide Roslindale with an
installation of our own. The parklet was installed in early June
and provided a welcome place
to relax during the day, especially during the construction of
Adams Park.
“TRAFFIC” LIGHTING
INSTALLED
Thanks to your donations, we
were able to install LED blasters
to illuminate George Greenamyer’s
“Traffic” Sculpture at the intersection of Belgrade Avenue and
Corinth Street.
MURALS
Roslindale Village is special for a lot of reasons,
including its active and engaged business owners
who want Roslindale to shine. RVMS connected
these business owners (YMAA Boston, A-Plus
Realty Group, and Botanical Spirits) with the
resources and artists they needed to create these
wonderful murals and turn our streets into a public
art corridor.
ROSLINDALE VILLAGE MAIN STREET | ANNUAL REPORT 2014
THE SHOPKEEPERS
In our storefronts and in the faces of our shopkeepers you can read the history of Roslindale as well as the foundation and environment for new businesses to grow. Whether they’ve greeted customers for decades or are opening their doors for the first time, they are our extended family and homesaway-from-home for many in our community, offering an ear to listen, a wise word, as well as something from the shelf. Our shopkeepers are diverse and
tight-knit, proud and welcoming. It is this collective character that makes Roslindale Village a neighborhood unlike any in Boston.

Our Economic Development Committee (EDC) kicked
off a quarterly Merchants’ Meeting series, beginning
with a session in March to release RVMS’ Market
Study developed in partnership with technical consultant Peg Barringer of Fine Point Associates, which
provides useful data on local demographics, spending
habits and potential sales “leakage”from our district.
More than 50 business owners, residents, and city
officials came out to hear Peg’s presentation, which included helpful advice on how businesses could target
new customers and increase sales. The Merchants’
Meeting series continued later in the year with a small
group discussion of 12 business owners regarding the
physical improvements that should be prioritized in
the Village. As a result of this discussion, the EDC has
made progress on three of the identified priorities:
• Improving signage at the MBTA commuter lot
advertising the Village as a shopping destination, in
collaboration with the Design Committee
• Advocating for the installation of BigBelly solar trash
compactors throughout the Village, with the help of
Councilor Tim McCarthy’s office
• Update the City of Boston’s list of bike lanes needing
improvement and repainting, in partnership with
Rozzie Bikes
ROSLINDALE VILLAGE MAIN STREET | ANNUAL REPORT 2014
THE MARKET
As the RVMS Farmers Market enters its third decade of operation, it’s fitting that 2014 honored where it all began. While we awaited the construction
of the newly redesigned Adams Park, the home of the Farmers Market for many years to come, the market revisited the site where it was born, the
parking lot of the Roslindale Village commuter rail. The market operated there for four months before finishing the season back in the park.
RE-BRANDING
While the iconic Farmers Market poster by artist Brad Harris is a
beautiful work of art, the market has grown and needed a new logo that
reflected the future of the market and the neighborhood. We worked
with the design firm Pinkergreen to create a new logo both for the regular season farmers market and for the new winter farmers market, which
celebrates the many features of our award winning market.
$6,025 in Bounty Bucks and matching funds spent at Farmers Market.

dollars up to $10 to help make shopping healthy more affordable.

knowledge of the importance of fruits and vegetables and the existence and breadth of food selections at the
Farmers Market.”

THE PEOPLE
Roslindale is a cosmopolitan neighborhood, with people from many different backgrounds making their lives here and taking an active part in the community.
There were many examples this year of our neighbors expressing their love for Roslindale, through protest and parade.
PETCO CAMPAIGN
Population by Age
ROSLINDALE
In the Fall of 2014, over 1,300 Roslindale residents and shop owners signed a petition in
opposition to Petco opening a store in Roslindale Village. And at a special meeting hosted
by RVMS on December 2, 2014 over 200 people voiced their displeasure with Petco’s plans.
Residents and shop owners voiced their concerns about Petco driving the three nearby “mom
and pop” pet shops out of business. In addition, many people said that large national chain
stores don’t fit the character of the dozens of locally owned shops in Roslindale Village.
A large organizing committee of over 30 people gathered the signatures on petitions, posted
flyers in store windows and called, emailed and Facebooked their friends, neighbors and local
elected officials about the proposed Petco store and the community meeting. RVMS Executive Director Christina DiLisio presented a draft Formula Business Ordinance at the meeting that would enable Roslindale Village and other Boston business districts to have more
influence over chain stores entering their business districts. Councilor Tim McCarthy pledged
to work with the Mayor’s Office, RVMS, and various city departments to develop a working
group to research and outline the details of the ordinance, or like measures.

In September, The Economic Development Committee hosted the
third annual New Neighbor Event at Shanti Restaurant. In addition to
the usual social reception that brings new residents together, several
elements to this year’s event were added to showcase Roslindale’s
unique business community. Former RVMS Board Member and Design
Committee Co-Chair Darlene Donovan led the group on a fantastic tour
of the Village to share details about Roslindale’s history and introduce
new residents to our diverse community of local businesses. Attendees were also provided with goodie bags featuring samples, coupons
and other goodies graciously donated by our local business owners.

SHOPPING LOCAL – EVENTS
The Holiday Wander is a tradition that has been growing in popularity. This year not only did we have a record 30 business participate by staying open late and
offering specials on Thursday evenings in December, but many residents and businesses used the structure and energy of the Holiday Wander to create or expand
upon their own events, taking ownership of the Holiday Season and showing the true spirit of an active and engaged community.
POSADA NAVIDEÑA
POP UP OPERA
“This year’s posada was one of the biggest we’ve ever had as
we partnered with the The Friends of the Library and five other
businesses to create a wonderful community event. The “Posada
Navideña” is a true Mexican and now Roslindale tradition, that
re-enacts the story of Joseph and Mary seeking lodging or “posada”
the night baby Jesus was born. Approximately 75 carolers strolled
and caroled through Roslindale Village accompanied by Mariachi
Estrella and were greeted with special treats from the participating
businesses.” —Lucy Galvan, Posada Organizer
We had a new addition to the Holiday
Wander with the inception of the first annual Pop-up Opera in the Village. The Popup Opera was a business-based initiative,
paid for by Tony’s Market, Birch St. House
& Garden, Fornax, the Leggett Group,
Joanne Rossman, the Roslindale Board of
Trade, Sophia’s Grotto, and Yang’s Martial
Arts Association of Boston. Within hours
of giving notice, many businesses expressed interest in participating. As many
as 60 people caught the opera in action
and many more ‘came along’ and traveled
to several businesses to listen to the wonderful, moving entertainment. At least 300
to 400 people had a chance to ‘listen in’
that night and many other people saw the
media coverage and Facebook posts.
Organizers: Lucy Galvan and Alejandro Rodriguez former owners of El
Chavo Mexican Products.
Business Participants: El Chavo Mexican Products, Romano’s Taqueria
& Pizzeria, Tony’s Market, Joanne Rossman, Birch St. House & Garden,
Centre Cuts Salon & Spa, Roslindale Friends of the Library.
LUMINARIA
“Roslindale’s third Luminaria event was held on
December 20th, 2014, the eve of solstice, the
longest night of the year. Over 500 lanterns lit up
Adams Park and the business district and were
visited by approximately 150 to 200 people of
all ages and cultures during the course of the
evening. Songbooks were made available to participants and passers-by so that all could join in,
learn new songs, and share a light-filled evening
with new neighbors and friends in our beautiful
Adams Park.” —Karen Kirchoff, Organizer
Organizers: Karen Kirchoff, owner of Karen
Kirchoff Acupuncture & Herbs, and Richard Chalfin,

SHOPPING LOCAL – PROGRAMS
MAIN & ME
In January, at the start of the Winter Farmers Market, RVMS in partnership with The City of Boston Mayor’s Office of
New Urban Mechanics, the Office of Business Development, and the technology company Main & Me helped to launch
the shop local app Main & Me. Main & Me works by notifying shoppers of local products and deals from independently
owned business in the Village through a virtual storefront on their iPhone. App users can scroll through or search the
albums, essentially window shopping their favorite stores. Notifications of sales, specials, or events are geo-triggered
by iBeacons placed throughout the Village so as folks walk, bike, or drive by their phones are likely to receive one. If a
consumer decides to redeem the notification by heading into a business, data is collected to measure foot traffic and
the overall success of the campaign.
