Hyde or Canary Square?

A post about shoplifting at a CVS touched off a conversation about borderlines in Jamaica Plain.

There’s Jackson Square, Egleston Square, Hyde Square, Forest Hills, the Downtown Centre Street area, the S. Huntington Corridor area, the pond and…Canary Square? Thursday’s story about shoplifters arrested at CVS – 467 Centre St. – touched off a conversation about the name of the area in which the convenience store is located. While the headline of the story referred to it being in Hyde Square, some commenters said this was actually now known as Canary Square.

And the Best Mother's Day Brunch in Jamaica Plain Is...

In a squeaker, Canary Square bested Lilac Sunday as the top spot to take Mom for Mother's Day brunch.

Well, this one was close! By a margin of two votes (and because no new ratings were written), Canary Square wins the week's contest for Best Mother's Day Brunch. The runner up was the traditional Lilac Sunday picnic in the Arboretum. For everyone who voted or rated a business, thanks!
