Since V14 is going to be archived, I wanted to add a comment to two posts involving me personally (10/02/21: “Candidate Debra Waller and parking” and 10/14/21: “Debra Waller parking redux”). On 10/19/18, ten months after Mayor Ruthanne Fuller took...

So as I imagine it, Greg, Sean, Jerry and a few other others were out and about for a walk in Newton 12 years ago when suddenly from the fog emerged a 14th village. It both wasn’t there before, and...

@Bugek There is a Facebook page. The link is in the footer. Or go to: https://www.facebook.com/Village14/

@Jo-Louise Allen Thank you.

Shout out to Jon Shubow for offering his technical expertise at little to no charge. What a mensch. Jon, I don't know if you ever read these posts, but you and I have been connected for over 55 years. Jen...

I am exceptionally thrilled to keep the stories of which I am involved in alive and would appreciate a nominal fee to do just that. It's part 'n parcel as a business advertising expense. https://web.archive.org/web/20220718134231/https://village14.com/2016/11/15/nnhs-students-preserve-some-newton-history/ https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/off/d/newtonville-newtonville-depot-1st-floor/7646666580.html

Does a credible plan include just forwarding this website to a Facebook page for ppl to comment and post ?

No news about what is happening in Newton anymore

Just saw this and need to say that I'm sad that I'll never know your true identity Fig. But I'm also grateful that you provided the most consistent voice of reason on both V14 and the Tab blog. Thank you...

That's great. Thanks Joshua!

I added this walk to Alltrails: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/map-july-24-2023-32fcc8c?u=i&sh=r3sgvz

Wow this sad news. Thanks for puyying this together and keeping it going to Greg, Jerry and Sean. It's been real.

Northland has done a remarkable job so far to this point. The restoration of Bld 1 with 14' ceiling height, the original joists, posts, fasteners - this place is a crafted museum, proud to be recognized and hosted by the...

Bob, what an interesting piece, as were all your previous pieces. Your point of having a support group (a room full of classmates) with whom to discuss diverse reactions is so well taken. Promoting our common humanity is so important,...

I remember driving an ice cream truck for McManus. I thought it was in 1951 or 52. I couldn’t remember the name till it suddenly just came to me. Amazng

Yes I'll miss it too Mary. ... and to all the V14 regulars who I've never met, if you're ever up for a walk in the park, a cup of coffee, a cold beer, or an ice cream (Fig), email...

Man, I'm gonna miss this site. From arguing with people about the parking ban (get rid of it!!) to getting riled up about local elections to reading about new businesses, reading threads about development, reading memories from Bob Burke, and...

Beautifully stated as always, Fig. Thank you for being such an important part of this community.

Hello all: First, an apology. I had intended to go to the Village 14 celebration/wake last Thursday, but life got in the way a bit. Having a mess of kids in the house does that, but if I'm being honest,...

Bob, Thank you. I hope this piece lives on in the archives. There’s nobody who can’t learn something from this and I recognize you put your heart and soul into this learning and writing. Good writing by nature has to...

Bless you, Bob, and thanks for the insights.

Well said.

Thanks for this community news and opinion resourc over the last decade plus!

Thanks Bob for this well written and thoughtful piece. It makes for a perfect final post for Village14.
