JSB... You're entitled to your opinion, but remember a newspaper is for all.. So, those of us who enjoy her column... 'dessert' after reading all the hard news of the day ask that you be tolerant.. If you read the last line in Barbara McDonough's column today..."Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless" (Mother Teresa)

Can't believe I have lived here in beautiful Savin Hill over the Bridge since 1968. When I arrived back then, I just could not believe how many trees were here, it was like moving to a forest when I moved here from Ireland.

I cannot see living any place else in the USA - we have everything here in Savin Hill over the Bridge, beaches; the new subway station; safe neighborhood etc. Nice friendly people.

Yes, it has to go but give it to someone else who will report about other things in the neighborhood.

I agree with Mickey,
Barbara is a wonderful writer but all we hear about is her family and friends. There are other people out there other than Barbara's friends/family. Let's hear about them from time to time.
I suggested this to someone at the Reporter about 2 years ago and I was told that no matter what Barbara would have a column at the reporter for as long as she wants. That's fine, but give other people options also.

Can we change the name of Barbara McDonoughs' column from View from Pope's Hill to Barbara' Column? It would be much more descriptive and people would still rwad it. Then maybe have someone else write about Pope's Hill or Neponset?
