Today, on our CCTV Cambridge show, we get a celebrity letter from local marsupial-core band the Fire Wombats! With the Sound Museum closing, Desmond explains the steps Boston has taken to find local bands new space, and what Cambridge specifically is doing to try to retain artist spaces in the face of the increasing threat due to the insane real estate market. #mapoli #cambridgema #soundmuseum #camberville https://vimeo.com/802758740

Sorry for the delayed good morning, everyone. I had to get through a lot — A LOT — of emails this morning. Reading them. Writing them. Sending them. Wondering if anyone is reading them or if they are just sitting there unloved in the ether… Probably sitting unloved in the ether…

So let’s do this.

GOOOOOOD MORNING #SomervilleMA, #CambridgeMA, #Camberville! How’s your Wednesday treating you?

A few weeks ago, I asked for the best bagel of #Boston, and was not disappointed. Thank you.

New question, this time concentrated in #SomervilleMa - #CambridgeMA - #Camberville (since that’s the area where my work will concentrate):
What’s your favorite local #coffee spot in Somerville/Cambridge/Camberville? And why is it the #BestCoffee in Somerville/Cambridge/Camberville?

And I promise, I’ll stop into these local spots and taste it for myself.

I know, I know. MIA for a week.

Y’all probably were getting a bit worried about me.

I’ve got a funk since I got back from my weekend travels to the Midwest. I’m exhausted and doing a lot of extra sleeping, so no time to post about coffee, or the #news of #Boston and #SomervilleMA / #CambridgeMA / (my new fave word I saw last week) #Camberville, or #hockey or my dogs because I’m busy sleeping through really messed up dreams.

A few more days. I promise.

@dataandpolitics 👋 and welcome! I'm in #camberville (Cambridge/Somerville borderlands) and walk everywhere so my advice is LAYERS and also Burdick's has great hot cocoa.

BTW #boston #medford #Camberville #vinyl fans: great #recordshops of the #GLX include Somerville Grooves and Vinyl Index (Union Square stop) and Stereo Jack's, which after 40 yrs has finally upgraded its location from Cambridge to #Somerville 😋 (Ball Square stop).

Last chance for "dun dun" noodles, #camberville! Just saw that Mary Chung is retiring (very well deseved!); restaurant will close at the end of this month. Those #noodles were a life-saver for me when I moved here from NYC and had zero luck sourcing anything remotely like Empire Szechuan's cold sesame noodles!

Free #GLX swag?
I survived 3+ yrs of heavy construction happening 18 ft from my home, often 24/7 for months at a time, with endless shrill beeping of anything that moved, weekend pile-driving, generators rumbling round the clock, a torturous "gravel vacuum," and vapor lights blasting the light of 100 suns thru my shades into the wee hours... And all I got was this lousy view.

Just north of #Boston, just before #Halloween. Four shots from an #autumn stroll around #SomervilleMA.

My first toot and #intro: Yankee fan living behind enemy lines. Work in #digitalhealth. Tuned into the local food and drink scene, community growth, dog life, outdoor space, and all things #camberville and #boston.

Mainly of interest to #Boston and #Camberville folk, a great roundup of what's coming to Kendall Sq: https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=a5ba3bc6-1124-4380-9a9b-4eb2cfca963e
