Reply to comment by nomjs in Moving to Greater Boston Area - Thoughts on Newton? by nomjs
Oh, phew! I was a little worried 😟Also—I taught in Newton schools years ago and found the socioeconomic stratification of the neighborhoods fascinating—a lot like when I lived in West Hartford CT. One group of Boston Brahmin Protestants, one group of working class Italians and Irish, and one group of well-to-do Jews. I am generalizing and it was a long time ago, but that is what I remember.

Be prepared for culture shock. Newton is a very different place than Arkansas.

Matzoh Ball soup is the real deal. Sandwiches are expensive.

Umm sorry to be a downer, but do not expect a friendly reception. Depending on where you settle, it might take your neighbors several years to warm up to you. Just sayin’.

Yes I remembered the cigarette smell at the one in Canton. Went to it in the 70’s when it was Bess Eaton. Fancy shot donuts. Lol.
