I was born in St. Elizabeth's and raised in Oak Square, Brighton. In his era, my grandfather, Robert Moore, was known because he was a brilliant carpenter responsible for building many homes (including the one I grew up in) on Breck Ave. and surrounding areas in the early 1900's that still stand today. Go, Brighton!

Thanks. My grandson and his girlfriend just moved to Brighton. She’s finishing her degree at BU. And he got transferred from his Midwest job to a sister company in Brighton

It's just a ok area, found it a bit sleezy, way too many drunk college students out at night.
