A Waltham kid hopes to turn his DJ hobby into a business someday.
If you visit a nightclub in the future, you may eventually spot a Waltham kid dropping beats. And yes, he takes requests. While he is still young, 15 year-old Anthony Clemente is already at the start of what could be a career as a disc jockey. Clemente, a resident of the Island neighborhood in Waltham, regularly DJs at Waltham events, playing a wide variety of music ranging from oldies to currently popular songs.

When one stops and thinks about the city of Newton, one doesn't often consider that a translator may be needed to walk through its village streets. But when former Oak Hill resident and playwright Steven Drukman decided to base his newest play in Nonantum, he needed some help with the local dialect. Enter: Alan Flynn, who now lives in Waltham. "I went through [the play] and corrected some words, added some words...I took them down to The Lake and we drove around, I showed them the sights," says Flynn. "That's where I grew up." Flynn, the city's supervisor of custodians, recently acted as a consultant for Drukman's new play The Prince of Atlantis, which will premiere this spring in California. The play takes place in The Lake (or Nonantum…
