Is 35 too old...

...to live in Davis Square?

The square, while my favorite place in the entire Boston area and one of my fave neighborhoods eva, is getting younger and younger. I like that there is stuff to do though, but I also like the peace and quiet...I am like Jonathan Richman; I want the city but I want the country too.

Can you all help me remember why I love my one - bedroom apartment outside Davis at a time when most people my age have kids and a picket fence and do horrible things like golf?

Or should I just shut up and stop acting like an asshat cuz I know its cool to be 35?

I am simply seeking some validation, as tomorrow is my birthday.

still, thoughts on why we love the square?

I know lots of folks in your age range and higher who live in the square, and to some extent I think the square will only truly be saved from becoming an Allston clone if those folks do stay and remain involved.

That said I got sick of the hipness and the rising rents and I'm happy in Ward 2 now. I still might love to move back to Davis someday, especially as my place of worship is there, but only if I were really financially established enough to afford it.
