Risqué movies are no longer "banned in Boston," but proposals for new buildings, liquor licenses, and late operating hours often meet with great skepticism in many neighborhoods. To outsiders -- and many local business owners and developers -- efforts to protect neighborhoods come across as NIMBYism, nannyism, and resistance to a more active nightlife.
How can we work together to find the right balance between maintaining Boston's character while enhancing urban vitality and giving new night life venues and recreations a chance to take root?
We have invited thought leaders, entrepreneurs, residents, and civic leaders to represent a diversity of perspectives to ensure a well-rounded conversation. Moderated by Peter Canellos, the Editor of The Boston Globe’s Editorial Page, the discussion will yield a deeper understanding of how we, as the Commonwealth’s citizens, could address this issue.
