WNTN in Auburndale

[Ron Bello]

It is at the intersection of Route 9 (Boylston St) and Langeley Rd - 
Atrium Mall area.

My parent live around the  corner and have never thought they lived
in Thompsonville.  You live in either Newton Centre (English spelling)
or Chestnut Hill.  The Chestnut Hill post office covers parts of Newton,
Brookline and West Roxbury (Boston).
