Allston is a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, located in the western part of the city. It was named after the American painter and poet Washington Allston. It comprises the land covered by the zip code 02134. For the most part, Allston is administered collectively with the adjacent neighborhood of Brighton. The two are often referred to together as "Allston-Brighton". Boston Police Department District D-14 covers the Allston-Brighton area and a Boston Fire Department Allston station is located in Union Square which houses Engine 41 and Ladder 14. Engine 41 is nicknamed "The Bull" to commemorate the historic stockyards of Allston.
Housing stock varies but largely consists of brick apartment buildings, especially on Commonwealth Avenue and the streets directly off it, while areas further down Brighton Avenue, close to Brighton, are largely dotted with wooden triple-deckers. Lower Allston, across the Massachusetts Turnpike from the rest of Allston, consists of mostly 1890–1920s single-family and multi-family Victorian homes.
Boston Landing is a commuter rail station under construction on the MBTA's Framingham/Worcester Line located in Brighton, a neighborhood in the western part of Boston, Massachusetts. The station will be located just west of the Everett Street bridge, next to the Massachusetts Turnpike. It will serve the Allston-Brighton area as well as the Boston Landing development which is being built nearby. The station is an infill station, since commuter rail trains currently pass frequently on existing tracks through the site. Prior to a May 2013 renaming, the proposed station project was known as New Brighton Landing.
The planned station, which was officially announced on June 7, 2012, is the result of discussions dating back to 1998. It was projected to cost $16 million and to serve as many as 2400 daily riders by 2030. The station will consist of a single island platform, with elevators leading to Arthur Street and handicapped-accessible ramps leading to Everett Street. In November 2012, New Balance announced their intention to open the station in 2014. However, in May 2014, the expected opening was pushed back to the fall of 2016. The new station will be financed by New Balance under a public-private partnership agreement.

Getting to Know Your Neighborhood: Allston
Everyone in and around BU seems to have a cherished memory of Allston: a too-late night at the Sunset Grill, that first apartment on Glenville Avenue, an encounter with the neighborhood's late, great, dreadlocked, guitar-toting unofficial ambassador Mr. Butch. It's safe to say, that few recollections involve high-end clothing, artisanal cocktails, and spa treatments. But the new 02134, once called a "student ghetto," now mixes local mainstays with Boston's hot shopping and dining.

Harvard's Allston Expansion
As Harvard University and its partners pursue ambitious development projects in Allston, Massachusetts,, residents fear that their neighborhood—which they describe as uniquely hospitable to families, immigrants, and artists—will come to look a lot like Boston’s Seaport district: a sterile landscape of laboratory buildings and luxury housing that skews wealthy and white. Wary as they are of a Seaport imitation, area residents see great potential in the hundreds of acres Harvard is poised to transform: “It’s a blank canvas: the envy of any urban planner,” Tim McHale said. “The dreamscape is here in front of us.” Residents just don’t want the opportunity to be squandered: according to Jessica Robertson, “We have one chance to get it right. And so with this huge opportunity, there’s also huge ...

There’s a sound deep inside And it feels just like thunder Like the rushing of white water And it’s bursting in your head There’s a fist around your heart And it’s grip is getting tighter And the sweat upon your face is running Burning in your eyes There’s no one there to help you now This time you’re really on your own There’s no one there to show you how You have to find ... find your own way home Caught in the spirit of the age I rode along the wave Accomplice to the avarice The master and the slave I played my role so easily Wore my costumes well And slapped and stabbed the backs of players Playing the kiss-and-sell And in this this life of give and take You know it’s better to receive And at the offer of an outstretched hand I’d ask what can you do, what can you do for me Ambition take me by the hand And guide me through the shifting sands Lead me to that promised land Where everyman’s a king Oh, feet of clay! Don’t fail me now There has to be a way some how Two steps forward, three steps back Break my heart, an art attack! Show me everything I lack, things I lack ... Seems to me, this seemed to be The only way that finally Tight-closed eyes would every see Cracks begin to show Swim up-stream, against the tide Choke on faith and swallow pride To find a new self, deep inside That I don’t know I don’t know! Parsons and priests will look after your soul But only you can exercise your self-control And there are people who make history While most read history books Whilst some attract admiring glances Most are scared to look And if, just by some miracle, we see the light I hope to God it’s bright enough To highlight wrong from right And will the signs for ‘up’ and ‘down’ Be clear enough to show? And will we know the difference? I don’t know! I don’t know! And now those days have gone, Consigned to someone else’s memory Embrace the changes still to come Exploring every possibility No shame the glory days have gone! Farewell to broken dreams and chances missed Farewell to shallow smiles and hollow hearts And long forgotten promises And now it dawned, I watched the sunrise From the window of another day I felt the shackles that had bound me, Heavy, lighten, break and fade away And if the future is an open road I think I’ve learned to read the signs And if the future is an open book I’ve learned to read between the lines
