That party, thrown last September, earned its four alleged hosts, all Boston University students, one charge each of keeping a disorderly house. They were put on pretrial probation, police said, and were told that if they stayed out of trouble, all would be forgiven.
But four months later came the second party. When police arrived around 1 a.m., partiers slammed the door in officers’ faces and locked it, police said. Scores of people, many underage, began pouring out doors and windows. When police did get in, they found more than 1,000 beer cans.
Partygoers at the January bash told police that the house was used by a BU fraternity, “Z.B.T.”, according to the police report. The fraternity president declined to comment Thursday.
Boston University spokesman Colin Riley said he could not comment on individual students.
“We expect our students to be good neighbors and respect the laws,” he said.
“Allston should feel like home to both students and faculty,” the authors wrote. “A home is not luxurious necessarily, but is fully appointed with the comforts and attractions of a place students and faculty want to go to, return to, and never leave.”
Allston Rock City Hall, the new performance hall named for its neighborhood’s longtime moniker, is almost set to, well, rock. Here’s a peek inside the space when it’s all shiny and new, before it’s covered in sweat and blood and whatever other liquids go along with rock and roll.
"The grungy old industrial garages and warehouses that lined two blocks in Allston have vanished. In their place: 200 new, luxury, ecofriendly apartments, 100 more opening soon, with one-bedroom units going for up to $2,100 a month. The tenants include doctors, lawyers, and computer engineers."
"BEACON PARK Yard is as forlorn a place as there is in Boston today. The old Allston rail yard — sandwiched between the Massachusetts Turnpike, the Charles River, and Boston University — used to be a major freight hub for CSX. That was before the shipping giant pulled up stakes last year and traded Allston for a new freight terminal in Worcester. Now the Harvard-owned yard sits in silence, a maze of rusting railroad sidings sprawling over 140 acres of concrete, covered in a tangle of Turnpike lanes, ramps, and tollbooths. It’s a desolate place. But it also could become the site of Boston’s next great building boom."
"Former state representative Brian P. Golden was appointed acting director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority this afternoon in a surprise announcement e-mailed to staff by Mayor Martin J. Walsh’s new administration.
Golden represented Allston-Brighton in the State House from 1999 to 2005, overlapping with Walsh’s time in the House. Several years ago, he was appointed to the post of BRA executive director."From David S. Bernstein
