Since I moved to Beacon in 1999, I've always wondered who plows snow on Dennings Avenue (the dirt road that leads from the recycling/sewage facility parking lot to Dennings Point.)  There is only one house near the end of the road, and the "Beacon Institute" building is the only other building.  If Dennings Avenue is not a city of Beacon Road (since it is not paved, it would seem not to be), then who is responsible for plowing it?  I hope someone here can answer this question.  Thanks.

To all Beacon citizens and the surrounding area:  I am offering Sewing Classes and a variety of Needle Art Workshops here in Beacon throughout this summer.  This is one art form that has not received much attention here in the North East lately although quilting and sewing seems to be thriving in the Mid Western and Southern parts of our country.  This surprizes me because of the interest in historical preservation…

hi fellow beaconites!

i've just launched a project on kickstarter yesterday that i wanted to share with the community. though this specific project is about the future of facebook, the bigger picture is the 'Open Foresight' model and how we could use that to understand specific complex issues, create a vision for their future, and then develop roadmaps for what we can do right now to achieve those visions. combine that premise with the kickstarter platform for fundraising,…
