ccampboyle@futurebird village can be a regional term (I think primarily in upstate NY) for something that might be termed the town center in towns in New England. A historic holdover, perhaps? There are also local technical uses, for example certain sub districts of the city of Newton, MA are called villages.
I'm in shock I thought it was just people trying to be needlessly cute.
@futurebird history casts a long shadow in the Northeast.
Jess Cho@futurebird @ccampboyle yeah, one of the places where I grew up was was designated a village. Didn’t realise that was weird until I left New England.
