I LOVE CAMBRIDGE! by Voosk

This is one of the coolest towns around. Very artsy, street musicians everywhere, a totally eclectic mix of people. Just walk around and absorb the atmosphere!

Cambridge by AlexisJames

Cambridge may be a strange desirable location but I love this city. It has such great energy… must be all those young, creative, great minds in such a small place. At only 7 sq. miles, Cambridge has a population of over 100,000 people! The city is clean and easy to navigate. If you find a legal parking space, leave your car there and walk, take the train or cab it around the city.

Jogging along the Charles river was not a particularly pleasant experience as I had something resembling a highway on my right hand side. Sometimes the trail would go through dense shrubbery or a secluded resting space and I couldn’t free my mind from thinking I was exposed and at risk.. never had that thought before or after.

Charles river was but a minor part of my pleasant visit to Cambridge however. The KSG, the Widener Library, the historical cemetery and the Coop bookshop were among the interesting points of my explorations there.

Early Spring by Bandwith

Was early spring, the weather just changed and was unusually warm. Runners were everywhere and the whole place was full of energy and felt alive. People running, jogging, and walking alone, in pairs and in groups! The energy flowed freely and made everone look and feel more alive. It is a great place to work up an appetite and then find a nice place to get your fill.

I was with 2 friends and we went to an Irish Pub, really weird place, nice though. There were Barbie Dolls hanging on the ceiling and a loud and psychedelic music playing…but then, we went to a Chinese restaurant that has 2 dance floors and there was a lot of people there! It was a cool night!

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Cambridge by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 The university town of Cambridge is a collage of images: the Bridge of Sighs; spires and turrets; drooping willows; dusty secondhand bookshops; carol-singing on Christmas Eve in King's College Chapel; dancing until sunrise at the May balls; Elizabethan madrigals; narrow lanes upon which Darwin, Newton, and Cromwell once walked; the "Backs" where the college lawns sweep down to the River Cam; tattered black robes of hurrying upperclassmen flying in the wind. Along with Oxford, Cambridge is one of Britain's ancient seats of learning. In many ways their stories are similar, particularly the age-old conflict between town and gown. Cambridge can name-drop with the best of them, citing alumni such as Isaac Newton, John Milton, and Virginia Woolf.
