Brown waved to drivers as they passed through the Holy Name Rotary.

He was greeted by several St. Theresa's School teachers, like Coley Ferraro and Meaghan McCabe, who said they just wanted to come out and see Brown.

Chants of "Six more years!" were met with "Down with Brown" from the Warren supporters looking down at the Brown crowd.

Nearby, Boston Fire Department Ladder 29 drove through the rotary and honked at Brown, who waved back at them.

Brown stayed in West Roxbury for about 25 minutes, during which time his wife also handed out Quincy bake sale items from their last campaign stop. Brown started his morning in Wrentham, then went to Braintree, then to Quincy, West Roxbury, Lowell, Woburn and he'll end up back in Boston to finish up the night.

Among the throngs of supporters and media, Brown spoke, "This is West Roxbury, part of Massachsuetts. I'm after every vote. It's pretty simple."
