Burlington Retro coming to Chronicle (WCVB Channel 5)
The producers of Chronicle, the daily news magazine, discovered Burlington Retro’s coverage of Kent Cottage and invited editor Robert Fahey on the show. The program will air Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 7:30 on WCVB Channel 5 (Boston).
- Here’s the Burlington Retro article about Kent Cottage.
- Here’s the Burlington Retro video about Kent Cottage.
Chronicle has been a local fixture for 40 years, so this exposure is bound to bring a lot of eyeballs to Burlington Retro. Fahey figures his revenue from this site will increase tenfold. Here’s what that math looks like:
0X10=0

Here’s Conley in his previous vocation, the bassist/vocalist for Mission of Burma:
Congratulations!
That’s terrific news!
Keep up the great work!
Appreciate your work. Congratulations.
Wouldn’t miss it, Robert! I wish your projections (10×0) were more encouraging! :-). Keep
up the great work!
Glad all your hard research work has made it to a higher level in communications. What is the main theme for the whole show tonight? Another plus is Chronicle has a U-tube channel to view their shows anytime of day after each show.

Robert, thanks for stepping up to preserve Burlington’s history. The oddities are informative and fun reads. A big thanks for answering the burning question I asked myself every time I drove by of ‘what is that building?’
Even though the cottage is being converted to 2 condo units and the interior probably won’t reflect the original, have to give kudos to Nordblom for preserving.
Congratulations!!! … a great piece and a ton of neat research on your part! I lived in Burlington as a youth (1962 – 1984) and never knew this house and history existed! Thank you
The big time! Congratulations!
Was watching Chronicle Tuesday when they previewed the next episode, and all I could think of “to bad they didn’t speak with Burlington Retro”! Congratulations and Thank You!!!
