Asimov, former resident of Newton, MA?

Newton, MA. I am equally certain--darn it, I'm positive!--that he did. Can
someone please confirm that Mr. Asimov was indeed a resident of this fair
city (of which I am, in fact, an alderman)? I'd be most grateful for your
reply.

Actually I'm re-reading one of the books with his first stories (I
don't know its English name, but I'll find it out if you want to) ain the
biographical notes that he liked to use to introduce the stories he said
that he lived in Newton.

Isaac Asimov was a resident of WEST Newton, MA. 45 Greenough Street to be
exact.
Just to be sure, I checked a letter he wrote in 1966. The Letterhead said
West Newton.

Asimov lived in West Newton, Massachusetts. Whether or not you win depends
on whether that is a separate municipality.

He lived on Greenough Street in West Newton, I believe #45, during the
1950s and 60s. His first wife continued to live there until sometime in
the 1980s. He left Newton and moved back to New York when he separated
from his first wife in 1970.
In his autobiography (I forget which volume), he describes how one day
both of his IBM Selectrics malfunctioned and, uncharacteristically, the
IBM repair person didn't arrive when promised. It turned out that they
had gone to Greenough Street in Brookline by mistake.
