Seasonal Affective Disorder

  As we feel the Spring season slowly creeping up, most of us couldn’t be happier for warm weather and lots of sun. KREM also understands how tough winter can be on New Englander’s and how seasonal depression can seriously take a toll. Seasonal Affective Disorder - SAD is very real and can rear its ugly head here every winter.  The lessening of daylight and seasonal changes can trigger a chemical change in the brain leading to symptoms of depression. This form of depression occurs the same time every year - and when…

Praise Shadows

We’ve been waiting to feature Praise Shadow’s on our Kingston Local for quite some time. Matter of fact, we had something queued up last year but, well, life, the pandemic and a zillion other things got in the way! Nevertheless, we persevere and are so excited to chat with you about this incredible art gallery in Brookline’s Coolidge Corner! Praise Shadows is located right on Harvard St. near the intersection of Babcock St. It’s clean, quaint and wonderful showcasing a rotating gallery with a particular focus on emerging or mid-career artists. They also have a retail space for art books…

The fact that we did this in 4 years is…

2021 Year In Review (Since it Already Feels Like a Full Year…)

WHOOOOAAAAA WE’RE HALFWAY THEEEERE! Here we are, early July 2021 and we’re hot, super busy and have come to the end of the first half of the year. The half that came through like a tornado and ushered in some huge KREM accomplishments. We’re loving all the post-pandemic activity- finally feels like things are back to some sort of normalcy after what felt like a lifetime filled with face masks, buckets of purell and boxes upon boxes of rubber gloves. The contents of a realtor’s car could be mistaken for a serial killer’s... or vice versa! Perhaps I just watch…

Inside Look

@ The Overlook at St. Gabriel’s

Right off the bat, we’ll let you know that this development is a BEAST. Comprising over 550 total apartments across four buildings, The Overlook at St. Gabriel’s feels less of an apartment complex and is more reminiscent of a small European village. Scanning the grounds, you’ll find things you just won’t see anywhere else in Boston. The Fatima Shrine still rests near the entry welcoming you in as you wind up the driveway. To the west is a cloister garden and walking grounds. You can really feel the history here.  The original Monastery constructed in 1906, now dubbed Overlook Landmark, has…
