We traveled over the North Bank Bridge from Cambridge to Charlestown. The bridge and park were a $26m project as mitigation for the Big Dig project that surrounds it, and it opened in 2012 using funds from the Great Recession American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

There's a new #BlueBikesBoston stop in #HarvardSquare? It's on Church St., so it's quite handy if you're near the front of an outbound Red Line train.

Happy surprise this morning! #CambridgeMA #BikeBoston #BikeShare

#claimToFame I saw #TheyMightBeGiants way before they were famous, at #nightStage in #cambridgeMA

if I recall they were opening for someone, I don't remember who... #ILikeToWatch

Casual chess in Medford Square every Saturday. Usually 1–3pm, but during the summer it's 10am–noon.

Ok enough ranting about housing policy, here’s some RPG stuff 😅 I was excited to see today that Pandemonium in #CambridgeMA has started stocking a lot more #NSR content! Picked up Elder Oak by Tuomas Vauhkomen and Tannic by @hopefulweirdwonder, and I’m really excited to dig into both and hopefully run them soon! I love being able to grab little zines like this from a local shop, otherwise I’d probably only end up getting them in PDF

#BostonWeekend - its time for the #SomervilleMA #YartSale!

https://somervilleartscouncil.org/yartsale

"Yart Sale is an opportunity for artists to sell from the comfort of their yards, driveways and porch. Think of a yard sale but with ART!

On Saturday, August 12th, 12pm to 6pm, (rain date 8/13) expect to see a range of things like paintings, photography, handmade objects, band merch, art supplies, collectible items or even plants all over the city!"

In other news, a new lake has opened up in #cambridgema after the brief rain today. #BostonMA

#Recommendations: Shopping for a cart for groceries

There's a steep hill, with sometimes crummy, icy sidewalks, between my preferred grocery store and my 3rd floor walkup home.

Is there anything better than the foldup metal grocery cart they sell at the Ace Hardware in #PorterSquare?

Our summer workshop is underway! #HRXS23, discussing High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy, has brought researchers -- from students to distinguished experts -- to Cambridge to discuss the past, present, and future of high-res spectra with Chandra, as well as our friends at XMM, XRISM, and missions yet to come!

#Art + #Bikes is a favorite combination - the #CambridgeMA mural ride is Free, sign up by midday Friday

#BostonWeekend (2/?)

Howahyah #boston - its almost the July 28-30th weekend.

First on my list is Saturday and Sunday afternoons: #CambridgeMA #Jazz Festival - Free! @ #DanehyPark https://www.cambridgejazzfoundation.org/2023-festival #BostonWeekend (1/?)

morning productivity: wrote a longish twitter thread about the ongoing ruin of #CambridgeMA public education (the decision to eliminate 8th-grade algebra solely, and explicitly, for 'equity' reasons is the latest sign). deleted the thread, locked my account, pruned the follows list, wondering what it'd be like to spend the rest of my 40s with no internet presence at all.

We had a fucking blast at The Sinclair and can't wait to do it again. ✌️❤️🍝

Between 2005 and 2021, average rents in #CambridgeMA rose by 83%. It has the highest rents of any population center in MA. This the product of political decisions to limit the supply of affordable and market rate housing as the local economy boomed. (1/5)
