I know! I couldn't believe it when I saw your post - I tend to assume that people who speak of Cambridge mean the newer Cambridge? Especially since my wife did her undergrad at MIT, so there's a lot of Boston-area people in our lives. But no it's this Cambridge! Which is awesome - I'd totally be up for meeting up at some point.
As I've kind of failed to make it into the library world in Cambridge (well, sort of - I found something else to do as a temp for a while and ended up liking it so much I stayed there instead of looking for librarian positions), I'm really curious to know what it's like where you are.
Next month it will have been exactly three years since we moved here. It's a nice city to be in - I love that everything is in walking or biking distance, and our area has a great selection of shops with food from all over, which is awesome. Butt I'm not used to being this landlocked, and I'm constantly frustrated by the weird UK rail infrastructure that routes everything through London, with the option being narrow, clogged-up roads. I'm spoiled from living in countries like Sweden, Japan and Switzerland that all have some combination of super efficient public transport and plenty of wide open spaces to explore.
Which isn't really a complaint about Cambridge! You've just caught me at a time where I'm suffering a particularly strong bout of wanderlust, I think.

How about you? How's Cambridge been treating you?
