URBAN ADVENTURES, Part 67 -- by Steve Nadis

I had my rollerblades on yesterday and felt like going somewhere, though I didn't know where. I returned some DVDs to the Central Square library and continued on, exploring the rapidly-expanding industrial area in Cambridge between Central Square, MIT, and the river--a realm I barely know at all, apart from the Good News Garage and a few other landmarks. It was strange, after having lived in this town for 30 years, to go through one unfamiliar block after another, passing a paint factory (California), biotech companies like Vertex, and the occasional park and residential enclave tucked in between. Being Sunday, it was a fun time to roam this alien landscape, as traffic was light to nonexistent. In addition to getting some exercise, I learned that the town I thought I knew so well still holds plenty of surprises.

1 - Yesterday I happened to glance at the part of the Boston Globe's Sidekick where they quote from local blogs, and there was this post from CMS. Despite the fact that I find this to be one of your less stellar posts (they can't all be Pulitzer quality) I feel that my commenting on it makes me famous by association. (Comment this)

2 - Thanks for noticing TB. I've actually had 5 or so in Sidekick so far. But who's counting? And I too have benefitted greatly from the association, in ways I probably don't even realize. (Comment this)
