WCOP & WBZ

[kvahey@comcast.net]

Where Allston ends and Brighton begins is one of the great mysteries
of Boston. The general rule of thumb is the zip code 02134 which BZ is
in is Allston. When I was growing up the border along the Charles was
based as if Cambridge was on the other side it was Allston and if
Watertown it would be Brighton. Everett St marks that spot on Soldiers
Field Road. Allston begins at the BU Bridge allong that part of
Commonwealth that Boston kept when Brookine broke away from Boston in
the late 1800's. Brookine wanted nothing to do with Boston or Suffolk
County and was given to Norfolk County even though the town does not
touch any other part of the county. In any event WBZ is in Allston.
