Ice Creamsmith has Chili?
Congratulations to our friends David and Robyn at the Ice Creamsmith as Winner of the "Most Creative Chili" at the Dorchester Chili Cook-Off! They created a chocolate and red velvet ice cream base with a special kick (...wait for it!), plus Boston Baked Beans (peanuts inside) and Hot Tamales candies!
Since it was very popular, they've decided to feature it as one their special flavors for April, but toned down the pepper flavor to be a little kinder to non-chili-eating customers! So if you're brave enough, try the new award winning Chilly Chocolate Chili Ice Cream. It will heat up your taste buds and cool them off at the same time!
Annual Cleanup - 2012

Lower Mills, May 6th, 8:00AM
It’s still sleepy for a Sunday morning, only a few people on the street, but there was plenty of activity afoot.
Mulch was being dropped beside every tree planter lining the circle of Dorchester Ave., River, and Richmond Streets down Adams to Baker Square. Rakes, shovels, brooms, trash bags and work gloves, brought in by the City, were unloaded and left in the Meeting House Bank Parking lot.
Early riser volunteers had everything in place by the time that everyone else arrived. Fifteen old hands and some new comers showed up to pick up their work tools and report for duty in the Fourth Annual Lower Mills neighborhood clean up event.
A perfect day, after a week rain, work was done in record time with the many, enthusiastic and practiced hands! A good turn out from our merchants, with Meetinghouse Bank, Cedar Grove Gardens, Vargas and Vargas Insurance, Streamline Antiques, Lower Mills Web Designs, Home Stretch Antiques, Flat Black Coffee, MAFCU, Connolly Equipment & Snow Plowing, Scherer Studio and Dark Horse Antiques all hauling mulch sacks and rakes from spot to spot. Linda Dorcena Forry, our State Representative came with coffee for the crew! A great day had by all with fantastic results!
The event, sponsored in part by Meeting House Bank and Cedar Grove Gardens, remains part the sturdy backbone of community involvement that the Merchants’ Association has been synonymous with so successfully. Events like this keep our reputation as a vibrant community, where life, work and play come together to make us strong…and clean!
