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?


-N-Lo

Well, having just bought a house in Davis at 36, I really hope I'm not already too old.

We bought the house from a lovely woman who had lived there for decades, long enough to raise her kids and have her grandkids over to visit. Elsewhere on the street are others who have been there equally as long, as well as people younger than me and people raising little kids.

Nobody on the street looks at me funny because I'm too old, or because I'm too young, they just offer pound cake and introductions and advice.

It's all good. I love this place.

Im between davis and teele

to be clear, but gravitate toward davis as its my fave place. I like poundcake-toting neighbors. I want some of those.

Look how much pound cake I could fit into this wonder-woman mouth, i mean....bring on the pound cake.
