Please remember to fill out your permission slip for the maintenance crew to come in and flush your AC lines, and return the form to the lobby office ASAP.  The form is due by noon this Friday and work starts the following Tuesday.  As someone who’s had other people’s AC leak water through my ceiling, I highly recommend you have this work done!

I believe there’s a board meeting Wednesday night, the 27th, in the lobby office at 7:00.  Residents are welcome.  You can check the bulletin board by the first floor elevator for more info.

Time is running out for the discounted lo-flo toilet replacement.  Frank Potvin’s discount ends on August 30th and he needs to have time to look at the job and order the toilets.  So if you’re considering having it done, now is the time.  Call Frank Potvin Plumbing at 978-957-2518 for more info.  For more about other people’s experience, check out theses comments on an earlier post.

The Lowell Folk Festival is next weekend.  Be prepared for tents and signs sprouting about the neighborhood during the week and then street closings starting Friday afternoon.

And finally, if you’re interested in where some of the trendy night spots were in this neighborhood a century or two ago, I put a do-it-yourself walking tour of the early, local dance halls online awhile back.  You can link to pdfs and print out a brochure from my Twirling Jennies site.  Or you might be able to catch me handing them out at the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust booth near St. Anne’s next weekend!  (But only for a few hours—too much else to do at the Festival)
