| President John F. Kennedy's roots are as much entrenched
in Brookline as in "Camelot." Near his birthplace, now called "JFK
Crossing," an ethnic community flourishes with an identity of its own, merely steps
from Coolidge Corner. A
thriving Jewish community has long been the cornerstone of life in and around JFK
Crossing. A recent influx of Russian and Asian immigrants adds an even richer mix to
this bustling community. Gracing several buildings, four hand-painted murals welcome you
with stories of the neighborhood's past and present. Here, too, you can find some of
the finest kosher restaurants, bagel makers, specialty food shops, as well as book stores
and art galleries, this side of Tel Aviv. |
