Very interesting!By A CustomerHaving been born and raised in West Roxbury; Massachusetts; I found this book quite interesting. Its fun to look at the historic pictures of what my neighborhood looked like when it was just a town.It also explains how West Roxbury got that name. Many people mistakenly believe that West Roxbury is the western side of Roxbury; but it is not. West Roxbury is separated from Roxbury by Jamaica Plain and Roslindale; and borders Dedham; Newton; Brookline; and Roslindale. This book explains that back in the 17th century; Roxbury; Jamaica Plain; Roslindale; and West Roxbury were all Roxbury. To make a long story short; they were eventually divided up into different neighborhoods. Todays modern West Roxbury is actually at the western tip of what used to be Roxbury in the 17th century. This explains why the oldest school in the country; Roxbury Latin (which is located in West Roxbury); has that name.West Roxbury has the look and feel of a suburb; but it is actually a neighborhood in the city of Boston. It is very Irish; and some refer to it as the "lace curtain Irish section of Boston."0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
