A Newstead Montegradian speaks
What, you thought there was no more to be said on the topic?
Ron Blum owns www.newsteadmontegrade.com and has posted a bunch of Newstead Montegrade links (many of which will be familiar to those of you following this saga).
He discusses this ancient and mysterious Massachusetts place:
... I actually have no idea what it is or what it means. I live across the street from it. If you start at Newstead Montegrade with your back to White Stadium (in Franklin Park) and walk along the path towards Walnut Avenue, mine is the small house at the corner of School Sreet that you'd be looking at the whole time.
I've looked on-line at a few old maps of Boston, and even the earlier West Roxbury, back when Franklin Park was known as "West Roxbury Park," and there's no mention of Newstead Montegrade. An earlier map, from the mid 1800s, shows the area parcelled off into estates or farms--I don't know which--but there's no mention of Newstead Montegrade. ...
Meanwhile, somebody's posted a Craigslist ad looking for a 1-family home in Newstead Montegrade.

Um, Ron, you spelled "Newstead Montegrade" wrong on your homepage. Not in the URL, but in part of the page text. IMPOSTER!

Oh My God, I Almost Choked
I have to tell you, I went to read the journal entries on that site and then clicked to look at photos and almost choked on my sandwich. This is the greatest thing since the comments on Amazon for the laptop that was listed as weighing 3/100s of a pound.

HEE
I didn't ever see that amazon thing. I'm surprised; people send me crap like that.
Jody, would you like to join the Newstead Montegrade freecycle group? ;o)
