Community Corner

Welcome to West Roxbury Patch

A message from your editor.

I have a theory about community meetings: the more active the neighborhood the shorter meetings will be. With that said, West Roxbury community meetings are shorter than meetings in the suburbs.

But while the meetings may be shorter, they're packed with discussions on development, speeding cars, crime trends and more. It's not that West Roxbury residents want to get in and get out – but they've got a lot going on in their lives.

That's why West Roxbury Patch is perfect for West Roxbury. Click on the clean, sleek homepage and you can easily navigate to find what you're looking for, be it how the Parkway Girls Softball League is going, or what the Boston City Council is up to, or what's currently on exhibit at the West Roxbury Library.

Previous to being your Patch editor, I was the editor of the West Roxbury and Roslindale Transcript newspapers, and was also the sports editor, assistant editor and reporter for those publications. I've seen a lot of West Roxbury through the years. I've shared laughs and tears with you.

I'd like to run the Corrib Road Race at some point, not just write about it, and eat the free burgers. I've been on the scene at fires and accidents. I've made friendships with you through associations, organizations and hearing your stories. And I'm looking forward to continuing my relationship with West Roxbury residents through Patch.
