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?

At 30, I may be a bit too young to speak, but I love how age mixed Davis is during the day. Getting off the T, I walk home in crowds of older suits and dodge baby carriages. Have you seen the soccer moms with their kids in the park? Yes, our friends are all getting married and having kids, but not all of them are moving away.

The Burren before the college crowds come out at 9pm; and Johnney D's for brunch on the weekend; and that little fish place tucked back by to comic store at any time on any day. Our nieghborhood is rich. It's just at night, the college kids, who don't have early a.m. responsibilities, seem to dominate.

And have you noticed that the college kids get younger (and skinner) every year ;)
