Jen in West Roxbury
As you can see from the "furniture," Jen is a mom.
Ooh-la-la! What a mom!!
Originally part of the town of Roxbury, West Roxbury broke off to form its own town government in 1851 when rail service was extended to the rural community, allowing people to live in the new town but work in Boston. With the annexation to Boston in 1874, a second wave of housing construction began in the late 19th century, but over three-quarters of West Roxbury's current housing was built after 1920.
Today, the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets and mostly single family homes give it a suburban feel in an urban setting. Bordered by Roslindale and Hyde Park, West Roxbury’s main thoroughfare is Centre Street, lined with local restaurants and commercial establishments. Life in the neighborhood centers around political and civic activism as well as local parishes and youth athletic leagues.
