Yes, you have no need for a car here. There are ample restaurants, dry cleaners, book stores, a theatre, parks, Boston University, 10 minutes from downtown Boston, and FENWAY Park! Its reads like a D R E A M. Until you arrive, and the 100 degree temperature variance kicks in (WAY too hot shifts quickly to painfully cold). Although what remains of the 'seasons' is ---- ahem... October (aka Autumn-enjoy). Its downhill from here kids). Now the fun begins. You find yourself amongst quite possibly the most outlandishly rude population Ive encountered while living on three different continents. Brookline is an awful mix of old - cheap-and bitter to...BU coeds. Who (btw) deserve only the best, have a deep sense of entitlement, and who really were hoping for a Harvard degree. Oh well. Don't even consider moving here unless your paid A LOT (even then I would think hard about it). And don't bother asking for anyone else's opinion here as they don't believe in eye contact, speaking to neighbors, or the words thank you.
