^while it will indeed be sad to see Eastgate go, assuming they proceed with the Site 2 development, the end result will be a much better streetwall. The stretch of Main St. from the end of Site 3 to the Longfellow was always a dead zone. All of the street level activation they have planned will actually create a sense of "Square" associated with the main Kendall square intersection.
