Another article on the topic: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/02/us/cities-population-coronavirus/index.html I moved to Boston for the unique urban experience and am very hopeful this won’t be a mass exodus to the burbs. While Boston population density is not so high (densest neighborhood by sq km...

Walked around Cambridge this afternoon from Kenmore to Inman Square, so not fully sure how to get back to any of these places but definitely some nice projects in a pre-covid world

Interesting, is it because Kenmore/Fenway had more restaurant options?

Serious question. I have been trying to practice getting around without google maps when picking up food, and end up getting lost or in places I’ve never seen before. We are now temporarily based near Fenway and get takeout from watertown or newton or union square. How did anyone get anywhere...

No progress but new view for me. I got displaced from the water main break in Sowa today so staying at nearby hotel for first night and my place is closed for rest of month.

Part of town that seems to have a lot of character from google earth, but I have not had a reason to visit yet

Part of town where most of my meetup.com events are hosted.
