2nd Annual Feed Brookline Benefit Dinner

Brookline Gathers to Honor, Grieve, and Reflect After the Boston Marathon Bombings

The audience at Thursday night's Brookline Together Memorial was as diverse as the town's population. A sixtyish woman wearing an etched yarmulke sat in front of me, while to my right side were a couple of teenage boys. In the front rows were men and women in uniform, representing the Brookline Police and Fire Departments, and directly behind them, the sporty young Marathon runners of Team Brookline—identifiable by their white t-shirts emblazoned with the logo. A rabbi, a priest, and a minister of a Unitarian Church shared words of hope and healing.

It Doesn't Matter Why They Did It

There is little doubt the brothers Tsarnaev and their possible accomplices had their reasons, but those reasons are inconsequential. Whoever they thought they were attacking or defending, they picked the wrong enemy and the methods of their actions cannot be tolerated. Tamerian and Dzhokar may have thought they were fighting for a principal, defeating an enemy, attacking a nation, defending a religion, protesting a government’s policy, or making any number of statements.

Brookline Talks About Guns : An Open Letter From BHS Teacher Elon Fischer

Every year at about this time, my students--seniors at BHS--start work on their senior papers, a long-standing tradition and a requirement for graduation. Over the years I've taught European Literature, British Literature, and now Public Speaking and Public Writing, so the topics for students' papers have varied, but the assignment has always called for students to demonstrate the same sets of skills: independent reading and research; analytical and argumentative writing; and personal responsibility for academic success.

Brookline Artists Open Their Studios to the Public This Weekend

The Brookline Open Studios is this weekend, April 27 & 28, from noon until 6pm. This is a beloved annual event that I like to compare to children's trick-or-treating; instead of a bag of candy you come away with a new appreciation for the creativity of your neighbors, and, if you're in the market for original artwork, a new painting or framed photograph. It is arguably the most exciting event for local artists and art lovers alike.

Old-Fashioned Fix-It Shop Focuses on Refurbishing, Not Replacing

Walking into Village Green Renewal on 6 Davis Avenue in Brookline Village is like stepping into your grandfather's (or perhaps even your great-grandfather's) workshop, with all the old tools mounted on the walls and the many boxes and drawers overflowing with antique door knobs, brass hardware, and skeleton keys that might unlock the door of an old Victorian house, like the kind you see all over Brookline.
