How many neighborhoods are there where you can raise you kid near rapid transit (and therefore a connection to the cultural goods of the city), and still have it be the sort of place where they can play along the sidewalk?

Just came to this blog from Andrew Sullivan's link (loved the memo); I grew up in Waban (1952 - 1970 or so) and I've been taking a wonderful trip through my childhood haunts with your posting. Thanks so much for the opportunity! Is there still a Brigham's Ice cream parlor in Newton Highlands?

Hi Marc, just left a comment for you back at the Peapod post. And re: your post, I *totally* agree with you... one of my favorite things about parenting in Boston is having access to city treasures *and* space to play!
