Cambridge Arts Festival 2014

The Cambridge River Arts Festival was held on Saturday June 7, 2014 on Mass Avenue between Prospect Street and Blanche Street, and along Sydney Street and part of Brookline Street. It appears that Memorial Drive and the banks of the Charles River were previously engaged. City Manager Richard Rossi was not  available for comment.

You had to be there. This woman was walking in the middle of Prospect Street and Mass Avenue with traffic flowing.


This gentleman took in too much art and reluctantly was taken to the hospital.

Cambridge MA, A World Class City?

Two of the several sidewalk bars and restaurants on Mass Avenue in Cambridge MA. The Mayor said he wants to make Cambridge a World Class City. Huh? Permitting bars to clutter more than half of the sidewalk encourages visitors who want to walk and see the city, how? There seems to be a disconnect between what the Councilors see and what is in this formerly industrial working class city that is now an upper class academic enclave. It is like children who have eyes bigger than their stomaches. They want to make it so, and think that by saying it and wishing it, it will make Cambridge a world class city.

Harvard University Moves Three Houses

Harvard University Moves Three Houses

Beginning at 6:00 PM on Friday June 22, 2007 until Monday June 25, 2007 Mass Avenue will be closed in both directions from Waterhouse Street to Wendell Street. Harvard University is moving three houses at one time from one part of the campus to another. The old Holiday Inn used as a dorm for Harvard Law school can be seen here half destroyed.
