Why Do People Live Here?

It dates back to a group of neighbors who lived on Van Hise Avenue, Chamberlain Avenue, Mason Street and Shepard Terrace in the late 1940s. They enjoyed socializing and planning parties together, so they used letters from each street name to dub their social group “VanChaMasShe.” The name stuck, and so did the tight community bond.
