Steve Deossie is from Roslindale, the group Bird Brain was started here, parts of the movies Mystic River and The Edge of Darkness were filmed here. This neighborhood is sometimes referred to as the 'forgotten' neighborhood because it's sandwiched in between the more well-known West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and Hyde Park. Washington Street in Roslindale Center is a bottle-neck coming from any direction, and the neighborhood is a lot more hilly than you might think.

Long Island Speedway was built by one of the Vanderbilt heirs on which to race his cars. He used to race them on the old roads on Long Island but a couple of bystanders were killed so he built his own track. Ironically, after he started using his track, more bystanders than before were killed.
I think Long Island is fantastic. There's so much great stuff there, such as all the mansions on the Gold Coast, that is, the North Shore of Long Island just past Queens. That's what got me excited about the place. But there's so much more. For instance, Gardiner's Island, out at the tip of Long Island is still owned by the same family that was given it by the King of England in colonial times.
