WNTN in Auburndale

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Where is Thompsonville (That's the only one I'm unfamiliar with)

Some "villages" straddle multiple political subdivisions, like the 2 NH
villages I had mentioned (Pinardville and Penacook)

Some villages even become major destination names (EG: The I-89 North exit
off I-93 in Concord lists White River Jct, VT as a desitination, while WRJ
is actually only a village of the town of Hartford VT.)

Tell that to the locals, particularly the lifers.  Technically yes,
Auburndale is not a town, but if you ask anyone in Newton where they live,
they'll probably say Auburndale, Lower Falls, Waban, Newtonville, etc.  If
someone says they're from "Newton," chances are they're relatively new to
the area or they're talking to someone who has no idea about the whole
village thing.

There are thirteen villages in Newton:  Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Four
Corners, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls,
Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Thomsonville and Waban.
