The WARFIRE forums are for anyone with dreams and passion for our neighborhood.

The Mexican War Streets War fire web site recognizes everyone as place making artists. Whether you take care to share a flower on your sill or organize an event, all people equally have the power to stun others with passion and dreams of our neighborhood. Whether you can change the mood on a street corner by your presence or you take the time to know your neighbor you are a place maker. By removing the blinds from your front windows to expose your home to the street you are causing a real and impacting change on your street. It is the goal of WarFire to explore and promote the realization of and track public art within the Mexican War streets and surrounding areas.

And they are living bridges to both local history and the global world we inhabit.
-Holly Sidford, Boston Forum November 2002
