This Thanksgiving we all have a lot to be grateful for but I am most grateful for the cosmopolitan mecca we call Jamaica Plain. While the past several years of this economic crisis of have taken a toll on many Americans, I feel very blessed to live and work here. And although not everyone here in Jamaica Plain has been exempt from the affects of the economy, we have weathered the storm in terms of housing and jobs much better than most.

So, when you sit down this Thanksgiving with family or friends, say an extra "thank you", to whatever greater being you believe in, that you live in Jamaica Plain.

Have a wonderful holiday season!
