Is 35 too old...
Sep. 23rd, 2004 03:31 pm...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

I'm over 35...
Date: 2004-09-23 04:51 pm (UTC)But then, I'll sometimes just go out to Diesel, or even just for a walk... and I remember why I love living in a place that just *feels* alive. After dark, in the 'burbs, it's like some sort of ghost town, walking the streets. Everyone's inside, with the SUV parked in the driveway. Give me the energy of a place where people actually live, not just go home to.
I was sitting in Someday the other day, musing that I was probably the oldest person in the room, when a bunch of 50 to 60-somethings walked in. So, just wait a moment, and it'll get diverse(er).
