lots of shooting happening lately. I have a feeling its going to me a long summer. those six cops weren't just out riding around looking for space savers the other night. gang violence has kicked into a higher gear.

Brookline, Allston, or Cambridge? (there may be others, too)

or whatever you call the area that's just on the other side of Blue Hill Avenue.

The one in Allston/Brookline is Harvard Ave, isn't it?

so I didn't realize there was one here.

(I think it's Harvard Street in Brookline and Harvard Ave in Allston, but there's also a completely separate North Harvard Street in Allston. These are all well-known main drags. There are also Harvard Streets in Somerville and Charlestown, but those are small side streets.)

Or are you really asking?

UHub users have been debating neighborhood boundaries for years.

Kind of sucks when I read the comments from whom I would hope to be competent adults. Life is short do more. Be in someone who makes a positive impact. The story is that a whole family was destroyed today. Savages murdered a mother and father. They set a house on fire with the couple's baby inside. All while wearing Nstar uniforms. So, if you make a comment about an incident; make sure you have actually have knowledge or experience before you condemn a whole community or culture!

Why are you posting this here instead of talking to the police?

By Waquiot on Wed, 04/01/2015 - 2:43pm.

Just because they can describe the suspects?

By Ron Newman on Wed, 04/01/2015 - 1:14pm.

because Adam's original post didn't specify Dorchester, and there are a lot of Harvard Streets around here.

No insult intended to anyone.

No suspects?
