It’s called Eastie now?

Ongoing Government Center Garage demolition will require the closure of Haymarket Station on weekends now, with diversions on some that require subway closures. https://www.mbta.com/news/2023-01-0...=news&utm_source=homepage&utm_term=green-line

Westie???? Lived here all my life never heard these names. Oh well.

How about Cambry and Sommry (Cambridge and Sommerville}?

Don't forget about Downtownie and backie bayie.

Don't forget about Downtownie and backie bayie.

I thought that was DoTo and FiDi along with BaBa (or as real locals know as just the' bay).

Eastie, Rozzie and of course Southie have been a thing for a long as I can remember. Growing up in West Roxbury I heard Westie occationally but it really wasn't common.

They already have Camberville for a nickname, no need to rethink that one.

Really? Grew up on the Rozzie border and Westie was quite common, especially at Latin.

When did the term Westie get invented. Grew up there…and never heard it.

Not sure, been hearing it for years, though it definitely is not as common as Eastie/Southie/Rozzie. Maybe it's one of those things where the folks in West Roxbury don't use it, but people in Roslindale do?

Yeah, bit of research on it with this patch article. So it sounds like a combination of generational and also other neighborhoods using it? Which might make sense to me, as I picked it up in Latin where the other Westie kids and those from other neighborhoods used it. Friend circle outside of that was also mainly from outside of the neighborhood, too.
