Roslindale merchant finds way to settle never-ending battle over neighborhood nickname

By adamg on Fri, 01/20/2023 - 4:03pm

Seymore Green on Poplar Street in Roslindale Square (or is that Roslindale Village?) has figured out a way around the perpetual debate over whether the neighborhood's nickname is spelled Rozzie, Rozzi or Rossi - T-shirts and hoodies that read:

ROZZIE
ROZZI
ROSSI
=
ROSLINDALE

Neighborhoods: 
Roslindale

I like this. It solves a problem, because all of the variations have something wrong with them.

And also Team Roslindale Square, but not to the point of looking down my nose at anybody else.

I grew up on Rozzie / Rozzie Sq.

I also call the arboretum "the Arbs", which I understand is weird.

What's weird about that?

And unlike our daughter, I'm not even a Rozzie rat!

I've been Rozzie square for a while now and call it the Arbs too.

Musta sold out-- All I see are items saying "Paris London Hong Kong Roslindale." Which is also fun.

In Roslindale now?

(Also we've gone from the flagship local pastry shop chain in Boston being ABP to Flour/Tatte and I'm okay with that. I mean, flagship excluding Dunks, obvi.)

We don't even have as many bakeries as we used to (although Fornax remains the go-to place for bread, and I've heard only good things about Weesh, although they're still not open for walk-in business).

It's always been aka Rozzie. And it's Roslindale Square. Not the renamed to be marketable Roslindale Village.

Let the shaming begin.

I didn't see ROZZY on the list. Is that not even an option?

I'd choose ROZZIE first, then ROZZY. The other ones just look wrong to me.
