Note that MassDOT has announced construction detours in the Harvard Square area during July. While it is supposed to be finished by July 15, there is always the possibility that it will run beyond. I suggest monitoring the MassDOT page for updates, and recommending that attendees recheck the Wikipedia Wicnic page for last-minute updates. https://www.massdot.state.ma.us/charlesriverbridges/ TrafficInformation.aspx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/Wiknic_2017 --Alan On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 2:24 PM, phoebe ayers <phoebe.ayers(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, Hard to believe that it could be picnicking weather this week, but the forecast is holding steady for it to be sunny on Sunday! Cross your fingers! And don't forget to sign up on the wiki page, below, with what you are bringing. We need food, drinks, snacks, desserts etc, plus plates, cups and games. Does anyone have a croquet set? :) Also: if you're driving, remember memorial drive is closed to cars on Sunday.

How about 1-5p on Sunday? Here's the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/Wiknic_2017 Following a suggestion by Joseph Reagle, let's try Cambridge this year - specifically JFK park in Harvard Square. JFK park borders Memorial Drive, which is closed on Sundays in summer to vehicular traffic, so it is a pleasant place to stroll, bicycle, etc. The closest T stop is Harvard Sq., a few blocks away.

I look forward to taking the bus up from NYC to join :) Should we set up a page on-wiki?
