431 Eastern Boulevard, 2nd Floor

One weird, wonderful floor in Essex.

Two rooms and a lounge that belong to the neighbourhood. Come up the stairs and have a look around.

And the bits in between

There is a lounge with couches, murals painted by people who come here, and a kitchen corner that ends up being where most of the actual conversation happens.

Come and look at it in person.

Second floor, 431 Eastern Boulevard. Metered parking out front on Eastern Blvd, and the meters are enforced, so bring change. There is also a free lot behind the building off Virginia Avenue.
