Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that a Brighton college student who answered a South End housecleaning ad on Craigslist got a bit more than she bargained for.

I stand a bit corrected. Litchfield is about a block inside of "Brighton". I have always gone by a general rule of "north of the pike, east of Market St..." for Allston (02134), but I guess Brighton pokes up into there too. I also never realized quite how far down Comm Ave from Packard's Corner Allston's zip ran. I always considered it to get cut off closer to the Corner.
If the roads are drawn up by cows...then the zip code borders were drawn up by drunken cows.
Those are indeed some
Those are indeed some strange borders. I never realized that the northeast corner of Logan's runway is in fact part of Winthrop, and not East Boston. Airport landfill that extended beyond Boston's borders? Perhaps the cows that were used at the time were able to swim?
