It is nice to be able to report on an old fashioned book store that is thriving. This store-in the heart of Coolidge Corner-offers a wide selection of books, and encourages shoppers to browse at their leisure.

Just ten minutes from downtown Boston and nestled inside the 64 beautiful acres of Larz Anderson Park, the Museum is home to “America’s Oldest Car Collection”. These automobiles form the Museum’s permanent collection and are housed within the Carriage House, built in 1888 and designed by the city architect of Boston, Edmund M. Wheelwright, who was also responsible for several notable Boston structures like the Boston Public Library. The Larz Anderson Auto Museum also offers enjoyable and informative tours, with varied and in-depth discussions on the automobile and its impact on society. Aside from the tour, we offer four different educational programs that range from kindergarten to high school and cover a variety of topics from early transportation to automotive design. Each tour offers hands on artifacts and real life observational tools. Visit the Larz Anderson Auto Museum for a day of exploration and fun that will create lasting memories for you and your group that is guaranteed to stay with you long after you leave.

Yes, as if it was meant to be in some awkward and strange way, I finally visited the birthplace of the United States' 35th president last fall celebrating its 50th year anniversary of becoming part of the US National Park system. This despite earlier in the better part of the early 21st century of driving and walking by the former home of the president many a times... knowing it was there, but avoiding it. Surprisingly, I was informed that it is the 'third smallest site' in the entirety of the US National Park system from the park rangers stationed at the site. The rangers present were very cordial, friendly, and had a wealth of information of the former president and the families historical past in and around the Brookline and greater Boston area of Eastern Mass. The visit was filled with awe inspiring moments to see what it was like to have been born and lived in the house over 100 years ago with a convenient self guided digital device with recorded sections assigned to a particular part/room of the house. No fee is required to take the tour, but a donation box is located at the reception desk where the devices can be borrowed from. Highly recommended for anyone to visit this historical site! Please donate and be considerate with regards to the new norms! Happy Birthday Mr. President!

Among the few independent movie theaters left, this non-profit theatre is a true gem. From first run showings to vintage classics to theatre and opera on the screen, this movie house is very special. With a large Art Deco theatre for main features to smaller screening rooms, they offer a wide range of movie experiences. Very comfortable seating, friendly helpful staff, and top notch equipment often not available in most for profit theaters. We see most of our movies there and take great pleasure in supporting this non-profit venture that is completely community oriented. Go!!!!!!
