05/02/2006 | It takes a certain kind of person to appreciate Cambridge. The city is very urbane, cultural, and very liberal. The views of Boston along the banks of the Charles River can't be beat. On a warm sunny day its always nice to stroll, rollerblade, or bike along the banks of the Charles River. Harvard Square is a very youthful place with bookstores, cofeeshops, newsstands, and the not to be missed Harvard Coop. There is a very diverse selection of restaurants with international cuisine of all types throughout the city. Most of Cambridge is easily accessable from Boston via the "T".

01/20/2006 | Cambridge is right across the Charles from Boston, and is actually an autonomous city that is in Middlesex and not Suffolk County. Best known for Harvard, M.I.T. and other schools, there's lots of cool cafes, book and record stores, historical sites, and other attractions. A city that's never boring, and the Massachusetts equivalent of Greenwich Village or Berkeley, California, very left leaning. A leftist's dream and a right winger's nightmare, lol.Some of the area's poorest and richest people live here, making it not only racially, religiously, and ethnically diverse, but economically as well. I docked it a star because frankly I've seen and heard a lot of people there be condescending at best, downright contemptuous at worst toward toward blue collar and middle class natives of the region.
