Brookline, MA. - 10/13/2009
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

Coolidge Corner - A great place to live! - 4/15/2008
The Coolidge Corner neighborhood of Brookline MA is a terrific place to live.
It functions like a small town. You can walk to the post office, movie theater, book store, Peets Coffee (or the other one!). The Redsox, Bruins and Celtics are only a short T ride away. As are the shopping areas of Boston and the financial center. Not to mention the multitudes of museums and musical venues available in Boston. Many people who live here do not own a car due to the ease of the public transportation, both bus service and the T. For the occasional use of an automobile many of us belong to the Zip car program, where we have access to everything from a tiny mini to a truck.
I don't see the weather as a downside because between the walking and snow shoveling I'm a physically very active person, as a result I'm very fit and
