Check out Riverside Theatreworks in Hyde Park. Community theatre, not a school. But they have junior productions throughout the year.

There's a residency requirement for librarians

There is a very nice museum in Concord across from the Alcott house

There are "interzone" fares if you get on after a terminus station.

There is a taco bell in the former Oath pizza space

Curious if there was a lot of community pushback before the taco bell opened

You have no idea what you are talking about. There does not exist a school called Boston Rindge and Latin.

If you are south of the city, I recommend Steel & Rye in Milton.

Yes, I feel safe walking to/from buses and the commuter rail. A new brewery just opened nearby and I hope it will be popular and bring foot traffic near Sprague St/Readville.

BPS students in grades K-6 are not bused "anywhere in the city." There are local catchment zones. Grades 7-12 are citywide, yes, but I don't hear many parents of exam school students declining seats there because their teenager has to commute from Charlestown to BLA.

Overwhelmingly most K-6 students will attend a public school within 2 miles of their home.

I have 2 school aged kids in BPS. No complaints.

My personal uninformed opinion is that young professionals with lots of money don't want to live in older houses in outer neighborhoods with charming elderly folks as neighbors.

Ended up in Hyde Park as probably a 4th-choice neighborhood, 1200sf 3bd, pay $2500/mo all in. Bundled home/auto insurance for further savings. House needed a lot of basic cosmetic repair (pulled up carpeting, wood paneling) New kitchen and new boiler probably in about 5 -7 years. Could not be happier with the community and the location.

It is the closest beach food shack to Carson Beach.

Sullivan's is still open at Castle Island
